For anyone here who uses products like Frontline or Advantage, could you please type up the product warnings that come with the box? I'd really like to know what they are. I'd appreciate it! Thanks! :)

I don't have the ingredients for you but I don't like them and have heard of dogs having a bad reaction from them. My friends 7 month old GSP got a bad rash and nasty pus bumps from k9 advantix all around her neck and back. I go the ALL natural way and don't use these harsh pesticides and chemicals on my dog. There is no need for it ;) . Check out this stuff it is called critter oil and I spray it on my boy before we go hiking in the woods and he hasn't had a tick on him or a flea for that matter :) www.naturespet.com this is just my opinion of the stuff and I choose to go all natural :)

Thanks for the reply, Red :)

As a side note, I don't use these medicines. I use a herbal insect spray (neem and water).

No problem :) . Just a question though, if you already use a natural product then why did you want to know about the other stuff? Just curious ;) . Also, Did you look at the critter oil? it has Eucalyptus, melaluca, tea tree oil, among other things in it and it smells good to. :D

Education on the possible side effects of the medication. I asked because I don't have the product in my home, so there's no way to look ;)
