Frontline Spray
When Frontline first came out with the spray product with low toxicity and was highly effective against fleas, it
took the cat and dog world by storm. The only disadvantage was that you had to spray (nearly use the whole
bottle with some long haired dogs) it all over the animal and most animals especially cats disliked it immensely.
There was also the fact that you had to avoid contact with the eyes so the muzzle area and parts of the head
were hard to apply the spray to you had to coat your gloved hands with it and apply it manually to those hard to
reach areas. Still, it was remarkably effective in its control of fleas especially important in dogs and cats with
flea allergies.
This has taken a back seat now with the new spot on treatments which are both easy to apply and fuss free. I still like to keep a bottle around to spray the bedding and kennel areas to knock out the adults who have jumped off to lay eggs.

Dog with wet patches in bed after sleeping
Our dog (6yo female neutered Lab mix) Daisy will sleep in our bed sometimes for a little while and then she will sleep in her crate or around the house. For the last two nights we have had thunder so she slept with us the whole night. We noticed this morning that she was cleaning herself in her back section a lot and then noticed that she had been laying in a big wet spot. This wet spot was cold and moist and soaked through a comforter, another blanket, top sheet, onto the regular sheet. On the bottom sheet it was in the shape of three circles. It didn't smell and she layed there without a problem. Do you think it was urine? If so why would she be laying in it? We also have a 5 week old baby and want to know if this could stem from that? We have noticed several other times way before the baby moist smaller moist spots on our bed, chair, or carpet where she had cleaned herself. Is this normal and how can we help our dog? We want to make sure she is not sick. We appreciate your response because we can not talk to our vet until tomorrow. Thank you!! - Click
