Again with the Herbal Flea and Tick Repellents

So the news is good with the herbal flea and tick repellents from Quantum Herbal Products and from AromaDog.

We sold completely out of our first shipment of products in less than a week and are getting excellent reports on their efficacy. So far, all of our users have reported that their pets are remaining flea and tick free. It's true that we haven't yet gotten into the high heat of the summer, but many people were finding ticks on their pets even this early in the season, so we see these early reports as very positive.

To help keep your pets healthy and pest free we recommend the following:

1. Feed a minimally processed diet. If home cooking or raw-feeding is not for you, feed an excellent quality kibble such as Wysong, Innova, Artemis, or Solid Gold and add fresh foods to the animal's diet.

2. Supplement pets with a multi-vitamin, multi-mineral supplement such as Nupro or Wholistic Pet Canine Complete. This helps to build and maintain healthy immune systems. A healthy animal is much more resistant to parasites and other pests.

3. Use herbal or homeopathic flea and tick repellents, carefully following the application instructions.

4. Check your pet often for fleas and ticks. If you do find one (or more), remove it with a flea comb or a tick puller. Drown the univited visitor in a small container filled with water and a couple of drops of dishwashing liquid.

5. Remember that all these cool foods and products are available at The Pet Cabaret.

"Talk" to you all soon.
