WOW, what a tough subject. Thank for all your responces. I understand alot more about this topic and flea/bug repellants now. I not only read each of your responces, but did alot of research online and asked many people they're preference. Although some of you were absolutely right about not needing a treatment unless I have a problem, the fact is I dont want to start a flea/bug problem, so I wanted to stop it before it starts. Also, although I dont see a flea/tick problem at our house or area Sandy goes, we do take her to a wooded park, by lakes, to grandmas, the baseball park, her doggie friends house, and these areas MIGHT and probably do have fleas/ticks, so with that said after much thought and careful consideration..... (drum roll, please) i decided on ....... Frontline Plus. Like many of you, i will try it and go from there. I almost ordered the BioSpot, but read too many negative reviews about it and to save a couple $$ would not be worth it.
So, many thanks for your opionions and I hope we all have a safe and happy summer .
Kelly and Sandy
