I have been using Frontline Plus on my animals and haven't had an out break of fleas. I have been doing good here since I have been using it.

Sounds like fun Too bad you couldn't give people a rating system like amazon or ebay as then you know if they are liked or not by other people who have delt with them. Then you could see wheither or not they were ok to deal with or not.

I was just thinking this same thing , that way you could see if the person you want to swap with has good follow threw.maybe the mods could give the folks a swap badge if theyve had good standing after so many swaps ? Or we could post in our signature who weve had good swaps with.

With all this hot weather, has anyone noticed an increase of fleas on their pets?  My dog Chase was running around the house just a bit ago with his butt to the side trying to itch it on the walls.  I pulled out the flea comb and I wanted to scream there were so many!  
I hate dealing with fleas, especially in the house.   What a nightmare.  
Does anyone have any natural flea remedies before I run out and buy flea treatments?

We have ours on trifaxis for fleas, worms, heart worms it was working well until this dry weather now we have fleas but it must be from the cats. Dh is going to spray outside the house soon, he treated the cats. The best way I get the fleas off the dogs is to give them a bath every few days. We didn't have any problems last year, it must be this weather.

You need to be really careful with what you say about members. One member started a thread to list poor swap experiences last summer. The mods deleted the thread and suspended her for a week. The mods don't like getting involved in the swaps. When they do, they close the thread.

On the first page, second post of the swap thread, there is a list of swappers that are banned from swapping.

It is hard for new swappers to realize how great this group is. It is nothing like ebay. Everyone gets to know each other like a family or neighborhood.

Once in a while we get a person that doesn't follow through but we are not talking about major money here either. We are talking about fun.

Yeah trifexis or comfortis is the way we go too. No messy drippy stuff.

x2 I do not want a rating system or stuff like that. If you feel you need that, I can understand, but that's not what we do here.

Flea treatment

DE works well. but it will take some time and you have to keep re-appling it. If you have multiple dogs and cats, buy the Advantage for extra large dogs and split it up. It works on dogs and cats. You Can NOT use Advantix on cats. I can give you the amounts if you need.
