If your dog had to undergo surgery for example, veterinarians may use a fentanly patch before and after surgery to help reduce pain. This in turn reduces number of injectable drugs and anesthesia required. Your dog may then be able to return home sooner rather than having to stay in hospital and therefore be more comfortable recovering at home. Another advantage of transdermal drugs is that they bypass gastrointestinal system and will need less processing by liver.

Pet stores and veterinary clinics display a vast array of Flea Control products including, Advantage Flea, Frontline Flea, Program Flea, chemically derived shampoos, powders, sprays, pills and collars which, according to labels, will eliminate fleas and ticks. But what are these substances doing to our pets?

We recommend either Advantage Flea or Frontline Flea, both of which is applied directly on skin, between shoulder blades and with regular use inhibits development of flea and tick.
