Speaking of fleas is anybody else having a terrible time with fleas this year? We are. Frontline not working, nothing working. The lady at Pet Smart told us to save our money that the fleas are getting immune to the insecticides.

We discovered Diatomaceaous Earth. If you get the food grade variety at Home Depot or a feed store and dust your pet with it and also dust your carpets etc. it sucks the fluid out of the insects and leaves them a dried up husk and is non toxic. Just sharing.

Yes I have. It has been a very bad year for fleas, and I was getting nowhere with frontline, which is normally very good. However, the vet suggested a new product, a largish pill to each pet every month, and that worked a treat. Cant remember what it was called now...

That would be hard to develop an immunity to.
