I use Front Line Plus on my Black Lab and I use a simple $5 flea/tick collar on my German Shepherd. As far as I can tell the $5 collar works as well as the more expensive Front Line. When I run out I'll be switching my Lab to a collar. :)

Program. The only problem is that it doesn't kill fleas, just prevents them from breeding. It takes longer than topical treatments to control the fleas, but given a couple weeks, works well.

All of these products work but the chemicals are pretty toxic.

Believe it or not a combination of Brewers yeast and garlic creates a chemical in the bloodstream that kills em.

You can find this at Natural Pet food stores or you could make it on your own. I give it to my dogs in tablet form once a day.

We dont have a big flea problem here in CO but it does happen.

If you want to go natural this is the way to go.
