Most definitely, but not at the expense of health and well-being.

At the moment, the only tried and for the most part trusted way is to treat with those chemicals and until (and not wishing to cause a big debate) the kinder alternatives are tested and proved to be as effective, then those chemicals will not only remain, but will be the preferred option for the majority of owners.

That may be the case, but there are already thousands of people using kinder alternatives, so it's not as if it is just a handful.

But again this requires some research and looking into.

Lots of variables though Unicorn. For example, with my own dog never a problem and so the need for preventative treatments for fleas/ticks were not needed until we moved. Another part of the country and there is a need, although for my dog, not on the schedule stated on the packets as he appears to have some natural resistance.

These variables are what scientists look at and why anecdotal 'evidence' is often discounted unless very careful selection and testing procedures are in place.
