I use frontline spot on as a rule but its very expensive

Just wondering whether anything else will do the trick ?

I use .............nothing! I've never been a regular user of flea preventatives and about four years ago I stopped altogether. About two years ago I found a flea on one of my two Cockers and immediately treated both with Practic and sprayed the house with Indorex. No further problems.

The reason I stopped was because I don't like to use chemicals on my dogs unless necessary. Maybe I've been lucky in not having any problems with fleas, I don't know. But for me personally it was the right choice to make. I groom my two regularly and check them daily for ticks and anything else they may have picked up while we've been out walking in the New Forest, so I'm pretty vigilant and I'm sure that helps :D

Pearl had a Scalibor collar prior to the pup arriving - now resealed and waiting until the flying set of teeth pup is older ;)

It was £12.80 online or £24.00 via my Vets and lasts for 6 months  :D
