    Natural,herbal, flea/tick control?

    Vet charges

    Just to clarify a couple of things in my original posting: They had the pills in a bottle before I reached the counter. Because they only take cash or credit cards, I only had enough for the recheck on me and no credit card with me. When I saw they had the pills already in the bottle, I did...

    Hi - I am the mom of a 6 year old female German Shepherd. About a month ago she started some behavior that she hasn't stopped yet and I am doing some research before heading to the vet. Like I said, about a month ago, she started licking her rear end. Not all day, but mostly in the...
