-> Garlic, just a little bit in the food, not  enough to make the dog turn up the

-> enough to harm the dog but the scent and taste permeates the skin and makes the

Just get Frontline and be done with it.
Been using it on Spanky for years and 100 percent effect for 3 times
the length of time it's claimed to work. ( 90 days efficacy)
