    Yeah, over-the-counter prevention may not be the best approach in the Philippines. Too much reliance on cheap Chinese products with zero regulation. I certainly wouldn't wear those cheap Chinese flea collars around my neck, I'm not going to put it on my dog. Even the chew toys have been found to have dangerous levels of heavy metals and industrial chemicals.

    Also, knowledge when it comes to nutrition (both got human and dogs) is non-existent here. I had a breeder try telling me that omega 3 fatty acids for humans was dangerous for dogs to take...of course he had some omega 3 for sale at a huge markup. I disagree, at least there is some regulation for what goes in a omega 3 pill for human consumption. There is absolutely no telling what is actually in those pills/liquid for dogs.

    Soap film can leave a dog's skin dry and irritated leading to excessive scratching and other skin/hair issues that comes along with that scratching. Probably not a good idea to leave soap/shampoo residue on them.

    I use combination worm and flee tablets from Agrivet for both our cats and dogs after initial vet injection. Been worm, flee and tick free for a year.

    Please try this. Wash the Pet in a wee bit of dish soap and rinse about 60 percent of it out. Do that once every 60 days and they will never get Fleas. Been there, Done Dattttttttt. Cheers!

    Baking Soda same method works also. No need to feed some Tax evading Company your dollars on a light based fly-by-night collar.
