   What is the first thing that crosses your mind when you see your dog frantically scratching? If you are like many pet parents it is; “Oh no!

It’s when you’re separating their hair and a tiny black dot jumps that you know your luck has run out. You have a flea flicking fiasco!

My dogs think the tasty new beef-flavored chew that I give them every 30 days is a treat before dinner!
