My aunt used to sprinkle garlic powder, just a LITTLE bit on her dogs food and it kept fleas and ticks off her. Thanks, Michele in WV

Our vet tried just about everything but she never cleared up until we moved from NC to Colorado. We're at about 5800 ft and fleas don't survive well at this altitude.

What are you doing for flea prevention? Hamburger grease is not good for the dogs. It won't do a thing for the dry skin. You need to get rid of the fleas first then see how they do and work on the rest. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lavanda Evans Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2010 10:16 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Chihuahuas] Need some ideas Hi new friends, I have 3 babys that are half chihuahas.
