Does or has anyone used Frontline flea & tick treatment while their bitches are in whelp?

I have been advised not to use it & haven't done thus far (can't remember who told me now), however I forgot to do Maisy before she was mated & I haven't had her scanned yet so don't know if she is in whelp or not.. but Frontline is due again.....

A couple of mine have had ticks recently but not fleas & I hate both things equally.. If she caught fleas I would have to do something as she is a house dog & the lounge diner is 60ft long & all carpet!!!

ive never frontlined any of my dogs ever!!!

i use garlic!

i was told it is safe to use in whelp but i would never give a bitch anything chemical if there is a alturnative!

and i know mine are smooths but i know people with lots of roughs who do it aswell

daisy does get the odd tick on her nose but she is a hedgehog catcher - since she hasnt caught any for a little while she hasnt had them.

i have 8 dogs here at the moment and all are defo flea free as cydnie my daughter would be first to find out if we have fleas as i took her to a friends with fleas and she was bitten all over!

for what its worth i dont use it on my cat either- garlic for them aswell

Cheri, how much garlic do you use per dog? it seems much safer and much more natural than the Advantage that we use!

have heard that apple cider vingar in the water helps in de - fleaing

i buy garlic powder from tescos- from the little herb section where you can get all the dried herbs

i think the pot is like 50p

they get roughly a quater teaspoon each every day on there breakfast

cheep and easy and as yet has worked perfect for me

cheri

i dont think it is a problem to flea and worm while in whelp!
at the scan simply as for her to be treated while ur there.
if anything, it is best to treat them at 4-5weeks in whelp as that covers mum untill her litter leaves home.
