Re: RC: Tick control

[Lynette Helgeson <helgeson@lansford.ndak.net>]

I would not use Frontline on my dogs let alone my horses. It
makes 
me nervous to use something on my dogs that the instruction says
to wear gloves and don't let it touch my skin, and have proper
ventilation. 
But I am suppose to pour this poison on my dogs skin and then
let
my children hug and pet him? No, I care too much for my dogs, my
horses,
my children and myself to do that. 

What I use for my dogs is a natural supplement called Nupro. It
has garlic in
it, (plus a lot of other great stuff) which naturally repels
ticks and fleas. And it 
works great. I have three dogs that will never be with out it. I
guess I need
to call the company to see if they make a similar product for
horses. They do
make horse products too.
