I do not remember having a fancy for dogs in the past but ever since I got married I started to love them. My husband has a husky and since I took care of it, I eventually liked it and got myself a Maltese a few months after we married. Our neighbor asked if they can let their dog make puppies with ours and because of that our dogs grew from 2 to 6. Plus I bought several more kinds and now we already have 9 at home. My favorite aunt visits from time to time and she is fond of dogs too so she plays with them but since there are so many she usually gets confused with the names. That was when I decided to look for id tags for dogs. The best ones that I found were from this website and I really liked how there was such flexibility in the style. There were sparkling tags, plastic colored, colorful designer ones, glittery tags, brass and stainless. For each category there were several shapes to choose from and it was really fun deciding. My aunt was so surprised with the tags when she first saw them but said that she was really impressed with my choices. I carefully selected a tag for each dog so all of them suited the dogs nicely. I spent over a hundred dollars but with the 5 years guarantee I was not hesitant about it at all. In fact I even made a second order for my sister’s dogs.

The natural way: •    Vacuum your home frequently and seal vacuum bags before disposing. •    Wash the bedding of your dog weekly in warm soapy water. This is where fleas usually breed. •    Bathing your pet weekly with a mild dog shampoo prevents flea invasion. •    Use cedar shampoo for your dog, and put cedar oil in their sleeping mats. Cedar will repel fleas and other insects. •    Fleas are attracted to dry skin, so to avoid it, give your dog Linatone oil mixed with its food. Excessive shampooing should be avoided. •    A mixture of brewer’s yeast and garlic, available in powder or tablet form can be given in small doses to your pet. This creates a certain odor in pets, and fleas are surely to avoid them. •    Fresh or dried pennyroyal leaves is a natural flea repellent. Use this in carpets to avoid the abundance of fleas in the home. Do not use it if you have small children around, as this could be toxic. •    A mixture of 60 ml of lavender oil with 2.8 liters of rock salt can also be placed in areas where dogs usually come in contact with and this solution could also be used to wash your dog. •    Planting marigolds in the yard is helpful too, it repels certain types of bugs as well as fleas. •    Boiled lemon or orange peel in water can be used as a dip for dogs and can be used too to soak in dog bedding for a few hours, then washed with warm soapy water. •    Lukewarm water with little shampoo and detergent is a good way to prevent fleas. A dog’s body may be dipped into the solution for fifteen minutes and then rinsed. This only works if flea infestation is light. The natural way of treating fleas is effective only if the level of flea infestation is average to very few. This method usually is recommended for prevention only. Different commercially available products with chemical contents: •    Advantage. Active ingredient is imidacloprid. This is a flea poison, from Bayer. It is in a liquid form and applied to the skin, at the back of the dog, and works for about a month. This works by upsetting the nervous system of fleas when they come in contact with the liquid. This product is fast acting and is not absorbed into the internal organs and bloodstream of the dog.  Studies indicate that this product is highly toxic to fleas and other insects as well. A dog will be free from fleas in just a couple of days.  Ingredients are: imidacloprid — a chloronicotinyl nitroguanidine integrated from the nitromethylene class of a compound. This joins the nicotinyl receptor sites of insects, thus upsetting normal nerve transmission which causes death. A set of two vials costs 15-20 dollars. •    Frontline. This product is very similar to Advantage, but is not water soluble, so alcohol is needed to wash it off. This can safely be used in pups, dogs, cats and kittens. Efficiency in repelling lasts up to four months.  Active ingredients include: Fipronil 5-amino -1- (2, 6-dichloro-4 [trifluoromethyl]phenyl) -4- (1,R,S)- (trifluoromethyl0sulfinyl) -1H-pryazole-3-carbonitrile 0.29% inert ingredients 99.71%. Fipronil works as a nervous transmission interruptor, which causes quick death to fleas and ticks. It is proven to kills 96% of fleas for the first two hours and 100% within 24 hours. Ticks die sooner than they attach themselves to the host. Fipronil is from the new phenylpyrazole class. Very effective and can be considered safe, so long as dogs are not allergic to fipronil. •    Knockout. Performs like Frontline and is as effective, but can only be used in dogs. Active ingredients: Pyriproxyfen: 21[1-methyl-2-(phenoxyphenoxy)ethyoxy] pyridine….0.05% cyclopropanecarboxylate 2.00% inert ingredients 97.95% Also has NYLAR, which is flea growth regulator. •    Biospot. This is for topical application and kills up to 75 percent of fleas, eggs, and ticks. It also is a good repellant of mosquitoes and works for about a month. Temporarily, at times, it turns white hair to yellow. This can not be used in cats and contains permethrins and IGR. •    Proban (cythioate) and Prospot (Fenthion). While not to be used in cats, they are widely used in dogs. This is absorbed by the bloodstream and fleas die due to the poison that is present in the blood. For it to work, it requires the bitting of fleas. There are certain conditions to be considered though. You are injecting a small dose of poison into your dog’s body and side effects are not known. Then this does not help if a dog has flea allergy, and can not risk to be bitten. Generally fleas abound during the summer months, when it is their breeding season. These commercial products can greatly help in fighting heavy flea infestation and needed where severe invasion occurs. However, it is always best to consult with your veterinarian as the choice of flea control will greatly depend on your life style.
