The FDA would disagree with your vet. They put out a warning, which is huge when it come to the FDA caring about pets, that one of the active ingredients in Simparica, along with a host of other flea and tick meds was found to cause seizures, some resulting in the death of cats and dogs. You can find it online. Frontline has a different ingredient and was not listed, but it is a pesticide.

Of course the vet is going to say that. Just like when you take your baby and they get vaxxed. "Oh, it can't be the vaccine".

My 2 years old shiba inu also suffered seizures due to Simparica trio.

I was giving my golden Simparica trio too. Nothing happened to him 🙏 but I stopped giving him. I seen a few reviews on it I didn’t like. Now I’m trying to look for something natural to protect him. I never gave my 5 Yorkies any meds for fleas and ticks and they lived till 16-17 yrs. old.

Find a new vet!

He's advocating for all pets. Why are many "dog people" self centered and even hateful towards other popular pets

​@@StarryGreen33 Because cats suck ass they annoying and won't do nothing for you 😅😅

You are a cat superstar!

Welcome to Capitalism.

diamatious earth.. foodgrade. (ground plankton) kills fleas within 4 hours in my experience.

Renee a lot depends on where you live. For instance Lungworm is mostly on the east side of America, although has spread in Canada and the UK. In the UK, they think it is because people have been travelling with their dogs from one area of the country to another. In the UK, one in five foxes have the parasite, and there are different types of the parasite and some are fatal. I took my 6 month old puppy to a pedigree training session and when he came back I saw a flee on him for the first time. He'd been to the groomers the day prior, so there were no flees on him then, or prior to that evening. Has far as the fox lungworm parasite, he could've picked that up from anywhere, drinking from puddles, smelling an infected dog's poop, licking an infected snail or their trail, eating grass with the parasite. Big choice when it is in the rural areas, it spreads easily if people don't pick up their dogs stools, or get their dogs tested on a regular basis.

What do you do? I have a lot of animals too! I hate putting these products on my babies! What are you doing for all of yours to keep them flea and tick free? I'm at a loss, I don't know what to do!

If you can help it would be greatly appreciated.

@@susan4981 Hi Susan. I follow Dr. Becker, Rodney Habib & follow Dana Scotts Dogs Naturally Magazine articles. I research. Here's my routine: *Feed raw/balanced diet. *Do a yearly detox with Dandelion or Milk Thistle tincture. *Feed appropriate natural suppliments according to the particular needs of that dog. I have a good natural vet to help with anything they need which is usually just heartworm testing since I do not feed heartworm prevention. *Feed organics...sauercraut & ground pumpkinseed to discourage parasites & support the immune system. *Feed Omega fatty acids from various sources to fight free radical damage. Sardines, coconut oil, flax seed oil, mct oil, etc... *I feed probiotics to build the immune system & digestive enzymes. *I feed apple cidar vinegar about 3 times per week. *I feed my home made bone broth & collagen to support joint health. Thats pretty much it other than feeding various natural suppliments for remedies. I do rescues who come to me with cancer, heart disease, lung disease, liver or kidney disease, seizure disorder, immune system problems & allergies. I've had great results. I was able to stop seizures in 2 of my dogs with a long history of them. 1 dogs had only 20% kidney function, the other had a little more kidney function. They were both healed. My liver failure dig is healed. The lung disease & heart disease digs are incredibly improved. They each get natural suppliments for those conditions. I do 2 more things: *They are isolated on my property. I am rural. I do have bears, mountian lions, cyotes, racoons, skunks & opossums. *They get no exposure to chemicals, shampoos, commercial or processed foods, no fertilizers, air freshners, household cleaners, bug sprays, automotive stuff, no flea/tick/wormers, no vaccines, no commercial veterinary products... *

@@reneeolson4881 wow you do a lot! That's great! So what do you do for treatments in the house and yard? I'm trying to go all natural but it's hard to find what is truly safe for cats and dogs. "I have both". Every one says something different. My vets and their personnel think I'm a horrible pet parent because I don't overload with vaccines and flea topics. I'm neglecting them. I have recently started using coconut oil on them for fleas, and diatomaceous earth and Dawn dish detergent for the yard and house. Mostly Dawn dish detergent for inside I don't really like the diatomaceous earth because it makes such a mess and I want to be safe with it so still trying to research what to do about the house and the yard pretty much but that's about the only thing that I have searched and discovered that's safe. Still trying to figure it out about the Heart Guard remedy and the outside dogs around their areas to keep mosquitoes off of them and get everyone off of Heartgard but I know my vets will be very upset with me.

PHENOBARB WILL SLOWLY DESTROY THE RENAL SYSTEM. I DETOXXED my pekepom and got him off phenobarbital in just 4 weeks. Detox: Diatomaceous Earth, Bentonite Clay, Boron (20 mule team laundry). THEY GIVE OUR DOGS SEIZURES AND THEN THEY SELL US MORE MEDICATION TO KILL THEM.

What's spot on treatment

@@deborahcruse5771 Topical.

Yes my question too! I'm so scared of all these products! What are we going to do for our babies?!!

Ivermectin completely safe.

I agree with you that it is about risk to benefit depending on where someone lives. I disagree with you, however, that a dog owner "needs to decide on with their vet...." I disagree that the vet's opinion should play a role given that vets are brainwashed by big pharma in vet school to actually believe that there is no risk to any of these products even when the statistics show otherwise. For those vets who are able to think outside the box and still deny that there are any side effects, well, they are just after profit.

try coconut oil......the lauric acid in coconut oil repels and kills fleas. massage well onto skin regularly.

Try contact your local holistic vet. I bet they know natural solution to heart worm meds!

Preventive care. If the animals immune system is strong they will fight off naturally. Just test every four months. If test comes up positive look for walnut worm preventative care. Be careful though.. google information..

What flea/tick preventatives do you use?

@@nicoledoeden4484 Earth Animal Flea/Tick tincture.

Heartworm is a scam It's not a pandemic It is easily prevented by not keeping your dog outside all the time.. and if you really wanted to make sure if you are still scared... Use a tincture of black walnut hull wormwood and clove once a month or every other month or in the Summers hottest times... You will never have a problem...I live near two ponds .. all my dogs have never gotten heartworm meds.. they all lived into their late teens... Al medium and large dogs

Great comment thank you for sharing.

DE as ingredients for cookies will do nothing I think. DE sprinkled around your house or on your pets will destroy the exoskeleton of fleas then they dry out and die

How do you make one?

@@usa2342 Tick/flea receipe: Glass spray bottle 1 cup filtered water 20 drops of lemongrass oil 20 drops of cedar oil Store out of sun & heat No contact to face or Cats

@@kerryschwidde2344 thank You!

@@usa2342 your welcome

@Magnus Schveing Do you use a heart worm preventative for the pups as well? If so, what do you use? Thank you.

I do the same and my dog is healthy. No commercial food, no flea, tick, heartworm preventives either. And guess what, my dog doesn't have fleas, ticks or heartworm. She is my third dog, so I have been doing this for at least 25 years and my dogs all healthy. I feed them home cooked meals.

@@MarthitaBeKe I’m happy to hear that!!! I don’t even vaccine my dog anymore once I discovered that with a blood test we are able to know if the pet need a vaccine or not, so that’s what I’m doing every year with him: blood test! It’s been 3 years and the result is that he doesn’t need vaccines! I discovered the blood test thing from Doct. Karen Becker. Too many pets are dying because they are over vaccinated and it’s all because of those little pieces of papers that we called “money”.

Yes, I forgot to mention that I don't vaccinate my dogs either. I do the titer test and the vet is amazed that my dogs has the antibodies already from the original vaccines when she was a puppy. My baby is a happy dog, with a strong inmune system.

@@MarthitaBeKe your pets are in the best hands, your hands! ❤️🌹🐶

Flea and tics I get but what do you use for heart worm. And what vaccines where they giving your dogs? The only vax I do is rabies

Earth Animal flea and tick

I need a alternative please for heart worm

@@josieshepherd2483 Interceptor plus

Thanks for this everyone. I also feel like I am being taken advantage of by the drug companies with this too. I love my pup "but he is just a dog" but spending 50$ a month on a 5cent dose pisses me off. I also don't trust it. I wouldn't eat it... but I dont want my dog to get sick from parasites either.

Heart worm is caused by mosquitoes. I’m trying to find natural mosquito repellent.

Dr Jones is great, bless him.

I thought bravecto was only for dogs? That's the one they are saying has killed a lot of dogs. My mom quit using it

You probably did a shitty job of applying it and they licked at it and their mouth started salivating

I read only use food grade on pets.

Dr Jones is a holistic vet and his channel is Veterinary Secrets. His home remedies actually work but since they are more natural, there is more effort involved. For fleas and ticks he uses DE.

try coconut oil......the lauric acid in coconut oil repels and kills fleas. massage well onto skin regularly.

Robert, would you mind sharing the recipe to protect dogs from fleas/ticks?

I also watched a video from another person saying that bravecto is also not safe. Holistic vets do not like chemical-based anti-flea products. They give other more natural remedies like diatomaceous earth etc.

OMG my vet sold me Bravecto for my dog. I noticed it was a 3 month dose and thought wow this must be so strong and just how safe is it. My gut said NO do not give to my dog and I went on You tube, there is a lawsuit going on for this product. I will be sharing this information with the vet and asking for my money back. Folks plz research

some essential oils are poisonous so i’d research before putting it :)

try coconut oil......the lauric acid in coconut oil repels and kills fleas. massage well onto skin regularly.

same :/

Did you find anything? ACV, Geranium or Cedar oil, neem oil hasn't worked for me

Wonderside is good, plenty of essential oil videos on non toxic bug sprays, Earth Animal has great products.

I washed my outdoor dog with dawn soap, vinegar, vitamin e and water. Fleas dye instantly. I also do sponge bath. Dilute apple cider vinegar in water. Get small towel, dip in diluted vinegar. Clean dog with towel.

Earth Animal flea and tick. It takes about a week or two to really start working but it's amazing. Use FOOD GRADE Diatomaceous earth on your yard..it'll kill the adults in 24 hours but you'll have to apply for a few months once a week

You need to dilute it, never just straight onto their skin. Lots of videos with recipes.

Selamectin

What do you use instead?

READ THE LABEL

Earth Animal Flea and tick

Did you watch the entire video? At the end he explains where to find alternatives.

Seriously? Are you that narrow-minded.

What's he supposed to do..solve all your problems for you? Keep doing your Research. There's always alternatives. But that's where ones own personal opinions and science come into play 🤔

I'd rather he said something about this.. rather then not saying anything at all
