How toxic to humans is this treatment?Q: I am very alergic to insecticides and have a doberman that aparently has mites (demodex). the d;og's treatments could include mitaban, ivermectin, milbecin and antibacterial shampoo. can you please tell me if any of these contain pyrythrin or any similar agents that i am very alergic to? thanks, bob kindorf A: Because you have an allergy to pyrethrins, you may also have a cross-allergy to related products. for this reason, you should wear rubber or vinyl gloves, and a face mask whenever you are handling the products. also check with your personal physician for further recommendations.
Zema collar with frontline; horses?Q: You recommended using a zema tick collar in addition to use of frontline to someone previously. i have two outdoor dogs and cats, plus a horse; and we live in tick country. (lots of deer and other wild critters too.) should i try using both these products together? and what do you recommend for horses? A: I am not a horse vet so will refer you to your equine vet for that one. as for collar, one i like for dogs is preventic collar. for cats a good ovitrol plus collar is fine. i find preventic collar is best tick product on market for dogs and works for up to 3 months as long as dogs dont get it submerged in water or swim with it on whihc will inactivate it. i usually use preventic collar with advantage topical for flea/tick control, but front line is fine by itself if used once monthly on all cats and dogs

Frontline plusQ: We have a 130 lb rottweiler, she is pregnant. we also have a 30 lb dog. i normally keep them treated with frontline plus. i had heard about advantix. i am wondering if that is the best thing? i had spoke to someone about the advantix and they said the frontline for our 130 lb would need 2 different weight ranges of product, that the largest one is only up to 100 lbs. due to cost, if this is the case, we may have to stick with the frontline plus. please advise me. thanks! A: I would check with 1800petmeds pharmacist about dosing. please dont use any of them if dog is pregnant
