I`m no vet but a chemical that enters your system to get rid of worm, parasites, fleas etc is worrying ,maybe could attack the central nervous system? , no human medicine is administered this way as far as I know.

So it's just a feeling then?

Frontline doesn't kill internal parasites, just fleas, although there are now several other products that do as you suggest.

Would you suggest that dipping sheep in OP shortens their lives too, as Organophosphates are indeed nerve agents?

It's all about a balanced diet. Our labs get a good portion of dry mix dog food, with some cat food (meat) mixed in. To top this up a varied mixture of horse sxxt, sheep sxxt, and the odd bit of cleansing, and for a special treat they do like the hoof trimmings when the farrier is round.

I didn't know you were supposed to feed Collies :ROFLMAO:

Oh, and the cats eat meat all the time, when they catch it.............

My labs are on the same diet except they are not as fussy as yours on the type of sh1t they eat. As somebody once said “A Labrador is a life support system for a stomach”
