  1. We feed all our dogs Nutrience - dogs love it - hubby loves it (nice firm stools!) We actually place breeder orders direct with Nutrience and pay breeders price (you have to order 2 bags at a time and they can be delivered to your local pet store.) They have a website (www.nutrience.com or www.nutrience.com/australia/) which will give you more info re history, benefits, etc I'd certainly recommend it!
  2. Sounds like you are having a terrible time! We had never had a problem with fleas (we use sentinel/advantix) before this month when our old dog started scratching profusely. I was horrified to find that he was covered in fleas. Gave him capstar and applied advantix. We rang a friend who has a pest control business and he suggested using a mix of eucylptus oil and water (we used appx 50ml to 10 litres of water). We made this up and put it in a large spray back pack (like those you can buy for weed killer) We cut the grass (apparently fleas like long grass as well as dirt) and then sprayed the yard with this mix; we washed the dogs beds with the mix too, vacuumed the carpets (put eucylptus oil direct into the vacuum bag to kill any fleas) and then lightly sprayed the house. So far its been three weeks and things seem to be going ok. Might be worth a try and its not chemical (and smells nice too!). If you go on the internet and google 'eucylptus' and 'fleas' there are some natural remedies too. Good luck and hang in there! Karen
