there is a "new" flea infestation kit on the marke

Post by davet »

and this is just my opinion i think you can get the same results with a q-tip or a pledget of cotton...moisten the tip or cotten with water and then rub through the coat
fairly vigorously...it you detect any red tint to the cotton then you got fleas...the flea "poop" contains undigested blood and it shows up on the cottone......tis not a bad thing to do to your pet at least once a month

hhmmm...easy enough to do...thanks for the tip...and I agree...unless there is some "special chemical" in the kit, a cotton with some water on it might do the trick...
hopefully I will not see red!!

What a rip-off. For the price of a sterile gauze pad and a few drops of water (and a pet comb or brush), you can do it yourself. You're probably paying for the magnifying glass :roll:
