OK folks, this is important. For those of you who have my book, it’s another wake-up call.

Last week (3/17/2010) the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced it will increase restrictions on tick-and-flea “spot-on” Pesticides for pets because of a rise in Adverse Reactions in cats and dogs, including seizures and death.

“These are poisons,” Steve Owens, assistant administrator in the Environmental Protection Agency’s pesticides and toxic substances office, told reporters today on a conference call. “They are products designed to kill fleas and ticks.”

Smaller dogs are more at risk of experiencing these Adverse reactions because the concentrations of the pesticides in their bodies are higher. Nevertheless, these products are poisonous to all dogs whether they have adverse reactions or not.

So what will these increased EPA restrictions be? Well, they are still deciding. To start, you’ll see some warning labels on these products in the next few months, and they will warn people not to give their pets too much. In my opinion, any amount of a poison is too much. There is no safe dosage.

So while the EPA is taking it’s good ole time deciding what they’re going to do about it, you don’t have to.

This is what’s important for you. Dogs with cancer are more susceptible to fleas and ticks than healthy dogs and the 2010 flea and tick season is starting now for many of you.
