I agree with you both! We try to garden, eat, etc. as "organically" as
possible ourselves and want the same for our dogs. We have never had a
problem with fleas just using good food and brewers yeast and garlic tabs
added to their food daily. Our groomer doesn't use chemical rinses either,
and their coats are shiny and healthy. It might be different if we lived
in a part of the country more prone to infestations of fleas than the
chilly northeast, but I always think that fleas and ticks must be able to
find easier pickings than trying to get through the coats on our pyrs!
