Getting rid of pesky fleas and ticks is only half the battle. Doing it safely is a challenge in itself. Since many pet products contain hazardous chemicals, safety is a concern to both pets and humans. The Natural Resources Defense Council has been arguing to have the most risky chemicals removed from flea-and-tick control products, but two suspect ingredients remain on the market: propoxur and tetrachlorvinphos.
Miriam Rotkin-Ellman, an NRDC scientist, said that children are at the greatest risk of exposure and health complications because they come into close contact with pets and the residue often left behind by flea collars. In laboratories, the chemicals have been linked to health concerns ranging from nervous system and developmental problems to cancer.

Through NRDC's efforts, flea and tick collars containing propoxur now carry warning labels in California, telling pet owners that the ingredient is toxic and may cause cancer. NRDC is petitioning the Environmental Protection Agency to ban propoxur from dog and cat flea collars nationwide.
Rotkin-Ellman said that prevention is the best medicine. If you can avoid flea and ticks, you won't need to use retail treatments which can harm or even kill your pet.

About the author:
I am a proud father of two grown up boys who are 19 and 23 year of age.
I am a martial artist (various) and appreciate the need to be in good shape to enjoy life to the maximum. I have had the pleasure of being a dog owner virtually all my life and have had Cocker Spaniels (crazy) Gigantic German Schnauzers (wonderfully loyal) and of late Old English Sheepdogs two in fact.
Unfortunately Snowball got Leshmaniosis and passed away prematurely.
But Junior is good and well ( 10 years old) and we go jogging most days.
I am no longer using chemical flea and tick products and his coat is a much better softer texture. He has been wearing the Pet Protector disc for 6 months and he's a happy healthy dog!
All the best,Paul
