Bryanna, That's good information to know, thanks for the link!

My dog doesn't react well to the tick and flea applications either and I hate giving them to her. I usually only use half of the tube a month, which is better, but anything is toxic. Just the thought of using a pesticide on her makes me feel very bad.

I know they have oral medication, but that also has side effects. I'd like to use something more natural, but it would have to work. I don't want fleas in the house either!

I'll keep you posted on the dental stuff.
