I have high hopes for this flea treatment -- cedar oil based [View all]

Advantage and Frontline have lost their efficacy. Too much $ for products that aren't really working any more.

So I've been scouring the research, looking for something that isn't poison like those products are, and that will work.

Apparently the military has sought a flea repellent for the GIs who must endure sand fleas in the Middle East, and they have decided that a certain cedar oil is optimal. It's a particular cedar variety -- the western red cedar.

There are products made from this cedar oil for pet application. I went looking, and found one that contains both the cedar oil and rosemary. Supposed to kill fleas on contact, and repel them. It smells great.

So today we have a new program for doggy of this product, and valerian, and chamomile, and witch hazel spritz on the hotspots. He's been overgrooming -- intervention now!
