DOG & CAT ALERT Is Your Flea & Tick Treatment POISONING Your Pet? Countless numbers of pets get sick every year from popular flea and tick remedies. Here’s the simple secret to keeping your best friend healthy and happy... “It’s a horrifying thought. You and millions of other pet lovers may be putting your furry friends in danger...and don’t even know it. Pet expert Alisha Lee looks at the alarming research and shakes her head. “It’s ironic. Our dogs and cats look to us to keep them safe and healthy. But in reality, we could be putting them in harm’s way,” she says. “We all know how bad flea and tick bites can be. Once these horrible little creatures get the bite on your pet, it’s a real nightmare.” DEADLY ITCHING AND SCRATCHING “They start itching and scratching like crazy. Their skin becomes red and irritated and they begin gnawing furiously, trying to tear out patches of their own fur. And then it gets worse. The fleas and ticks begin multiplying. Before you know it, you have a flea and tick infestation in your home and now you’re scratching and itching just as bad as your pet.” “You’d do anything to stop this vicious cycle so you run down to your local pet shop and get a collar or spray to kill the fleas and ticks.” THE BIG MISTAKE It turns out that this could be the worst thing you can do.

They’re safe, effective, soothing, and leave your pet smelling great too,” says Alisha Lee. the medication you get from your veterinarian is safe? “Shockingly, the answer is a NO,” warns Alisha. “It turns out these products also contain strong pesticides that will kill fleas and ticks. But the awful truth is, they too can poison your pet.” KIDS ARE VULNERABLE What’s more, kids, especially toddlers, are also vulnerable for two reasons. “First, their nervous systems are still developing so the toxic chemicals can do greater and more lasting damage.” “Second, children’s normal behavior brings them in close contact with their pets, and, therefore, to the poison applied to them.” ALL NATURAL SOLUTION So what can you do?
