Dog Wars Episode One : Battle of the fleadom fighters

Jaws is not your average fleabag is he? Would Jaws have a problem with the common garden pesky flea,I doubt it,Mind you I'm convinced he would if he was a dog and didn’t live in the ocean.
Unfortunately in almost all cases our beautiful beloved doggy friends seem to have been invaded by fleas and have to live with the discomfort of carrying these little demons with them wherever they go. As a consequence they can feel extreme discomfort and itchiness and this ineviability leads to incessant scratching and ultimately skin disease which can be very costly to medicate and fix. Some local vets make a fortune from us this way because even flea collars and drops do not appear to always work and guess who normally sells these things to us, these VETS, go figure
Not only do these little varmints hurt our doggy friends they also have a huge impact on our lives and POCKETS.
Having decided to vacate the vehicle that brings them inside the house they start to make our homes their own and infestation begins.
This leads to not only flea bitten guests and loved ones but also leads to the financial burden of having to employ an exterminator to attempt to get rid of our flea friends. Trust me when I say that these guys ( the exterminators)love to charge like a wounded bull and will more often than not have to return several times at additional costs to guarantee ultimate success.
Only to have Fido go back outside and have some little hitchhiker jump on his back and start the process again. Do Vets own extermination companies on the side? It would not surprise me.
And by the way if the poisons we are given to put on our dogs kill fleas what the heck is it doing to Fido and not least of all our FAMILIES. Are we safe, is there a way we can naturally and cheaply have the fleas not decide in the first place that our pets are not a desirable vehicle for the ultimate wealth creation cycle of vets and exterminators??
What do you think is there something in this ???????
