Sources of raw protein diets should be organic- GMO free- & grass grazed-
Fleas-parasites will be still attractive to dogs being fed second hand grain-
Grain produces the parasite attraction- smells to parasites akin to Fritoes!

Sherry, I'm in Houston so fleas are like mosquitos. A way of life. Some years are better than others. This year seems to be "one of those years". Last month I spread nematodes in the front yard to see if I could get a head start on the flea cycle. I am positive that I get a few hitchhikers as my dogs all scratch a little. This is of no concern to me. I scratch a little when my skin gets dry so it may be fleas or it may be dry skin. I have only seen one flea on one dog. I make runny eggs for them in the morning, add in some brown rice and minced veggies. To this I add about 1 tsp (slight heap) brewers yeast, dry garlic (1/2 tsp) and fresh ground cloves (pinch) as I have heard this will kill HW microfiliae. At night I toss about 1 tsp in my big guys bowl and 1/2 tsp in my smaller dogs bowl of diatomaceous earth. I also add a splash of Braggs ACV to keep their ph level as my vet said brewer's yeast can affect that. Not sure if true but the ACV is good for them anyway. I spray morning and night with Wondercide and use Halo spray also. I agree with Dr. F as your one guy may have underlying issues. One of mine, little Tink has terrible allergies even though on this protocol. She will be Dr. F's next patient. (:
