Why Use Natural Flea Control?

Some of the most widely-used flea control products and topical treatments are drawing attention. There are questions as to their safety. Most pet owners would agree that their fur-babies are part of the family. Owning a pet is a big responsibility, as we all know. We are responsible for their food and water, veterinary expenses, love and attention, and well-being.

But when it comes to flea prevention, there is even more to consider. What we apply to them can have consequences.

When it comes to the type and quality of flea control, our pet's very lives may depend on us. On one hand, very young animals can be killed by a flea infection. Their lives depend on the flea infestation being halted immediately.

On the other hand, a pet owner can't simply rush out and purchase the first product they see, and apply it to their pet.

Not all products are created equally! Any product (even natural remedies) can have allergic reactions, side effects, or skin irritation. It's an owners responsibility to understand the risks, and understand exactly what they are putting in or on their pet.

Topical flea treatments are pesticides. While they have come a long way, and the vast majority of pet owners use these products successfully without incident, there are many conscious owners who are not willing to take a chance.

After all, when was the last time you saw a pesticide made for application to the skin of a person? The only exception would be lice shampoo.

Natural flea control is especially advised for sick, very young or very old pets, and those who have shown a sensitivity to pesticides already.

Small breed dogs can be at risk for receiving too much flea medication, and cats sometimes accidentally get a dogs dose - very dangerous! So these are even more reasons to use a natural remedy. For many pet families, the natural way is the best way to get rid of fleas.
