Flea Collars
Flea collars in my opinion do not work as well as they claim. For one thing, the insecticide impregnated on the
collar needs to move right through to the back end of the dog or cat – by that time, the concentration is so weak that it hardly has any effect on the fleas.
Often cats or dogs develop an allergy to the collar and you get dermatitis just under the flea collar.
There are better ways of flea control nowadays in my mind. Read on…

Dog digging carpet
My dog (5yo female neutered Blue Heeler mix) is outside during the day and inside at night. I've only had her for 6 months- I got her from a friend. During the past month, she started scratching at our carpets ruining them. She only scratches them around the walls never in middle of the floor. Why is she doing this and what can I do to get her to stop?
