It is so important that pet owners use these products only when necessary! A lot of owners are being pressurised by large "Corporate Vet practices to use these Spot On or tablet 3in one flea and Tick products every 3 months without fail. If your dog or cat does not have fleas why dose them with harsh chemicals? Yes Ticks are more common but in my experience natural products by Holistic Hound or sprays made from essential oils are more effective. Another important consideration is that if you have young kids who pet/hug their dog in the 24 to 48 hours after application the pesticides get absorbed into their blood stream. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2026/aug/05/calls-ban-toxic-pet-flea-treatments-harm-uk-wildlife-environment?CMP=fb_gu&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwdGRzaATyvwJjbGNrBPK5rHBkb2YFZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEeVOnOyWl4SIbKSIk6egq2fpwoq9AcIXBhNN3H3GMJJBklfQWSrUpjkPiOMkU_aem_Jj9_Hc78GuYOTNYJMHi3dA =1785915056
