Information on Bio-Spot flea treatment from Northolm Supplies:
Northolm Supplies - supplements for working, showing and racing dogs
Bio Spot is from the US and is as popular there as frontline is in the UK. Each application of Bio Spot for dogs kills and repels adult fleas and ticks, kills flea eggs and larvae, and protects against blood feeding by mosquitoes for dogs age 12 weeks and older. It contains permethrin and Biolar insect growth regulators. Kills and repels fleas, ticks and mosquitoes for up to 3 to 4 weeks. Prevents flea eggs from developing into biting adults for up to 123 days. Protects against blood feeding by mosquitoes (vector of heartworm) for up to 4 weeks. Breaks flea life cycle by killing greater than 92% of fleas within 1 day. It kills on contact so fleas do not bite your dog in order to work.
Each application lasts 123 days (4 months).
3: vaccination
Mention vaccination and you'll soon start a heated debate! It's a topic which has been discussed many times on K9, and there's a lot of information and wise words regarding the pros and cons, the alternatives, the benefits and the possible risks.

Vaccinations - traditional or homeopathic?
