Many people are becoming selective about what gets injected into their bodies, but don’t think twice about having their animals vaccinated. Dr. Ruth Roberts joins me again today to talk about which vaccinations and flea, tick, and heartworm medications are necessary and which are not. She also explains how to incorporate mindfulness into our pet’s daily routine.

Options for environmental control against ticks and fleas:

Nematodes that eat the eggs and larvae
Borax or diatomaceous earth
Growth regulators that prevent fleas from forming a protective layer
Capstar tablets
Insect growth regulators to be given orally (Lufenuron)
Amber collars
0BugZone electromagnetic collars
