[QUOTE="FredNOk, post: 2893117, member: 35627"] For 7 years I used Frontline Plus on my dogs and I spread 7 granuals all over the yard in April and July every year. That kept the fleas and ticks out of my yard and off my dogs. Unfortunately, Goliath developed stomach cancer last year and I stopped poisoning the lawn and ceased the Frontline plus. Most all of the natural stuff did not work to protect him, but spreading cedar chips and shavings around the edges of the yard helped a little. Goliath's cancer had advanced too much and I had to put him down this morning. I believe that his cancer was a combination of all of the chemicals I exposed him to and am kicking myself for it still. He is gone now, but I take some comfort that he's not suffering any more. I was too wrapped up in my own little world to realize that 3 years ago, Sampson too had developed stomach cancer. I had to put him down in 2014. My 2 dogs from totally different litters and not even remotely related, both developed stomach cancer. Now my boys are off chasing each other in the afterlife. I'm sad and grieving and I can't help but think that it is all my fault. No more pets ever. Not even if there comes a time when fleas and ticks are nonexistent. I couldn't handle having to go through this with a furry friend ever again. I hope a great solution comes along that won't poison your pets to control the parasites. It is tough to lose your best 4 legged friends. [/QUOTE]
