Donald, when I got my little Chico two years ago my whole mindset had changed about how to raise a dog. Previously my dogs stayed in the backyard, got HW meds, flea meds and ate kibble. Yes, I am ashamed to say I was VERY ignorant of dog health and the implications of our trusted pharmaceutical establishment. Since my own health has become a priority, it was natural that my dog's would too. Since Chico, I have added two more adopted dogs and rescued two from the street. They all eat the same (raw), get no HW meds, no paraciticides and no vaccines. We go on long walks every day. That is my protocol for all jumping, flying pests. As assurance I add brewer's yeast, garlic, and diatomaceous earth in their food. I use Wondercide and Halo spray to kill and protect from the outside. I vacuum ALOT. All this I learned on my own. The internet is a wonderful teaching tool with a strong and supportive community. It was all verified by Dr. Falconer and he ultimately gave me the courage to dump the HW meds. So do your homework. It's not that hard. The one thing that is hard is deciding if you have the conviction to do the work. I do because my dogs are all worth it!
