[Greenbuilding] Flea control in dogs (Re: Off topic)

[KTOT (g)]

I know many people who have tried generic yeast or other brands of yeast garlic with NO success on dogs which is why I was very specific on PetGuard brand. Other brands apparently work for some dogs, but not all. Cats, I don’t know about. I still highly recommend PetGuard. They do make a wafer formula as well which I believe is specifically tailored to cats. You might try it to see if that avoids your awful skin reaction.

Note PetGuard has more than just yeast and garlic (and far more than just generic nutritional yeast that you’re talking about)—it has some nutritional supplements which also probably contribute to its success against fleas.

Nutritional yeast (no need to buy something branded - buy it in the bulk section at your grocery store) worked very well for flea control on my cats - with caveats.  One cat won't eat it.  One cat loves it but gets a bad skin reaction.  One cat loves it and has no problems with it.  I've had to quit using it because the cat with the skin reaction wouldn't stop eating the other cat's food (with the yeast in it).  And yes, it takes a while before it works.

And it's delicious on buttered toast.  You won't have any fleas, either.

  Sorry about the blank message. Computer’s acting up.

  Try PetGuard brand yeast/garlic powder supplement. All natural and good for dogs—not deadly chemicals like Frontline and other such flea preventatives. I’ve used it for decades and haven’t had a flea since, starting when I lived in a non-freezing very humid climate right on the coast where all dogs (except mine once they were on PetGuard) were infested with fleas no matter what the people tried on them. Only PetGuard brand, however (not any of the many cheaper yeast/garlic supplements available), and it takes a few months for it to build up in the dogs.

  Note it’s sold as a supplement, not specifically for fleas, due to FDA or some such organization’s requirements. 

  You can get it online or I some health food stores, but last I knew it was still not sold in any pet supplies stores. Try Amazon, for starters.

  I have nothing to do with the PetGuard company, just have been a very satisfied client with multiple dogs for many, many years.
