doggie with buggs...

Question
Have a small dog, 8-9 years old.  Looking for something to get the bugs off him.  He hangs around in the house most of the time, resting a lot between naps.  Outside his favorite stuff is long grass and apparently picking up all kinda bugs.  I'd like something "natural" stuff I might already have around the house.  Not crazy about the commercial products, don't seem to work well in the first place and costly.  

Answer
Hi Don,  I haven't found too many "natural" items that work well, but something I do like is Adam's brand Flea & tick spray.  It is mild enough to be used every day if needed.  I like it because it is extremely good for old or low immune dogs.   It also isn't that expensive.  You can get it fairly cheap online.

Hope this helps,

Dawn
