I found a flea on Lily the other day, and she has seemed sort of itchy over the last few days. She had her Activyl (a topic flea preventative) 3 weeks ago. I would definitely rather not put those chemicals on her. We talked to the vet on the phone yesterday, and she said that just because we saw one flea on Lily doesn’t necessarily mean she has fleas. We asked her for natural treatment recommendations, and she said that she doesn’t have that much experience with natural treatments but she mentioned Sentry as an alternative treatment. I looked it up and it contains the same main ingredient as Frontline, so I’m not crazy about it. I’ve gotten suggestions on various threads for Little City Dogs, Sentinel, and Dichotomous Earth. I am a little worried about the DE because I have heard it is bad for humans to inhale. I’m a little overwhelmed with all the choices right now. I just looked up Sentinel and it looks like it is a Heart worm and internal parasite prevention, but it didn’t say anything about fleas. Could someone please un-confuse me please? Thanks!
