Flea Prevention Day

Since the outbreak of fleas this fall - I am very committed to applying the flea prevention every month.  I put the Frontline on order from Petco.  It comes every month and arrives on the same day of the month.  When it shows up in the mail I know its time to reapply.  It showed up today so all the kitties, ferrets and the dog are due.

Kitties are pretty easy - Ollie, Phoebe and Aggie don't care if you put it on them.  Zoey is a pain - I know - SHOCK.  The ferrets on the other hand - they don't like it.  Violet was very good - she didn't like it but she didn't wiggle.  Theo was pretty good - just a bit wiggly, Clooney was just a bit wiggly as well.  Finn was a wiggly little freak and Madison hasn't had her application yet.

Emma is a royal pain in the tush - she won't chew up the Trifexis so we have to do the same swallow routine that we do every evening for her liver supplement - UGH.  She is one stubborn dog.

Glad we have reapplied - never EVER want to go through the flea episode again so I will do whatever it takes to prevent it.
