I think that there is some truth to that, since each individual dog regardless of breed has it's own scents, just like people do, and insects are drawn to certain scents, so some will get attacked more then others. Last summer when I was at my sisters for a bar-b-q party, in the evening the bugs came out, they were like tiny knats, they were all over my sister and not me and 2 other people that were standing next to her. What is interesting is that my sister is a health natural type of person. She never uses anything that has chemicals or perfumes in it. She only buys natural no scent soaps from the natural store. So for someone that isn't suppose to have a scent, the bugs love her, lol.

This was interesting, but it doesn't say that it is safe to put on children, it says safe around children, big difference, but then so do a lot of the other brands. There are other brands that also use ingredients that work on the nerves of a tick to immobilize it, which can also affect a dog. That is why I wasn't happy with the new formula that K9 Advantix just came out with because it does the same thing. Why when something works good, do these companies have to change it?! It also says that it last for one month, not three weeks, as does the other brands, so I wouldn't reapply it before that. So does it really work on your dog....no fleas or ticks? -------Original Message------- From: ouidan Date: 5/20/2012 1:15:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Chihuahuas] Re: Flea meds? --- In mailto:Chihuahuas%40yahoogroups.com, "abmattox@..." <abmattox@...> wrote: > > Hi All!

So i switched to Sargents topical and my chihuahau had tingling feet for 3 days. I called them and they just said wash the feet and or take to vet. A known side effect of affecting nerves. He threw his feet out sideways and limped and couldn't lay down comfortable. !!!. Then I went to sentry natural defense. At totally natural product that kids can even put on their skin. It last about 3 weeks but I feel much better about it.
