The vet explained that ticks arenโt just annoyingโtheyโre deadly. One tick can lay up to 3,000 eggs in a single day, and the diseases they carry (like Lyme, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and anaplasmosis) can cause lifelong health problems for pets. Fleas are just as bad, triggering allergies, infections, and even anemia in severe cases.
I was horrified. Iโd been using chemical flea collars and topical treatments for years, but they clearly werenโt enough. Worse, I learned that many conventional flea products contain neurotoxins that can harm pets (and even humans) over time.
There had to be a safer, more effective way.
