WARNING - Long read with a lot of information, studies included.
TREATING YOUR PETS OF FLEAS & TICKS? 🚫✋️ READ THIS FIRST.
Recent Study highlights that one of the most popular Flea & Tick treatments in the world may negatively affect your pet’s behaviour.
Fipronil is an insecticide and one of the most popular veterinary drugs used to control fleas and ticks and is available worldwide. Recently, researchers wanted to know why dogs & cats appeared to be restless and excited following fipronil administration, so they conducted a study which was published by Science Direct. The results are pretty alarming.
A new study was released very recently that looked into the effects of fipronil, the active insecticide in these products, on pets and the results were alarming. High levels of fipronil were found in every tissue in these pet's bodies, including the brain. The studied showed that fipronil affects neurotransmitters in the brain which affect dopemine and seratonin release and could lead to heightened anxiety, as well as cognitive and behavioural issue for these animals, such as, sleep disorders, learning disorders, stress, lethargy, and even short term and long term memory loss.
According to the scientists:
“The behavioral activation observed in the present study may be due to an increase in dopamine levels in the striatum. Therefore, we theorize that fipronil also affects emotional and cognitive behaviors in dogs and cats, particularly as many appear to be restless and excited following fipronil administration.
However, the pharmacodynamics and neurotox- icity from the usage of fipronil as a veterinary drug has not been greatly explored. Neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, and disruption of endocrine function have been reported in mice and rats after oral administration of fipronil. Additionally, fipronil is reported to affect their emotional and cognitive behaviors (Godinho et al., 2016; Terçariol and Godinho, 2011). In the above mentioned toxicity tests, the effects of fipronil on the nervous, circulatory, blood, and endocrine systems were verified. However, sufficient toxicity studies have not been conducted on the effects of fipronil on the emotional and cognitive behaviors of mammals."
The present study is a new approach to toxicity testing. Moreover, based on the results of our study, extrapolation to dogs and cats and further verification are necessary, particularly in understanding the effects triggered via fipronil treatment on emotional and cognitive behaviors.”

The Isozazoline based products (Bravecto, etc.). These also cause neurological. Issues and have been known to cause seizures. Anti-Vaccinosis is effective on expediting recovery from Isozazoline toxicity as well.
Scientists are also currently looking into the shocking level of fipronil and other toxic pesticides contaminating our waterways.. they think their may be a link to the alarming reduction in bees we are seeing across the globe.

Mix the powder into the food once a day for 7 days. Repeat every two months.
The 100g bag would last a 50lb dog 3 treatments. Approximately 6 months.
For a natural alternative to chemical repellents, we use and personally reccomend EarthMD's Outdoor Sheild. We've carried it and used it for years on our own pets and know it to be effective in nearly all cases. It also does not cause any adverse effects for pets and doesn't interfere with any medications a pet might be on.
🚫🪳 How Does It Work? 🤔
When the animal consumes this specific combination of herbs it is absorbed into the bloodstream throughout the body. When a flea or tick bites the animal these compounds make it so that the insect cannot eat or reproduce, so they die.
The product works just like the topical and ingested chemical products, but is 100% safe and non toxic to pets and their environment. These herbs are only toxic to the insects when combined together in this specific formula.
The garlic acts as a deterrent, so these pet's are less likely to bother your furbabies anyways.
Researchers have found widespread contamination of English rivers with two neurotoxic pesticides commonly used in veterinary flea products: fipronil and the neonicotinoid imidacloprid.
