Thank you for this warning! I have consistently resisted flea and tick control for our pets, not trusting the chemicals or those pushing them. We had fleas in the house years ago (our Honey-cat died at the vet during a flea dip) and used essential oils and diatomaceous earth to eliminate them. No further problems despite two more cats and two dogs.

You use essential oils and diatomaceous earth to prevent fleas and ticks on your dogs? Any particular types of essential oils? And how do you apply the diatomaceous earth? Does this combination reliably keep the animals free of fleas and ticks? (I have a small border collie.)
In other matters, the summer of 1961, the last summer I lived in Seattle, I went to day camp at Lake Sammamish. And the old floating bridge and the Montlake were landmarks of my toddlerhood.
I remember using various minty oils, especially one which I'll remember when I stop trying to remember it. I remember it was a minty variety, and I know that peppermint oil is a good mouse deterrent.
jeez, it's on the tip of my tongue, but I'll have it in my head tomorrow. actually, Google will get you the information faster.

Kathe, Thank you for sharing your experience and solution with us. Salud!
I got this warning too, Fern. I had seen several warnings before now. Not a fan of flea collars.
And salud back to you.
