Dog Health Questions: Why Healthy Rawfed Dogs Don’t Get Fleas
IdeaMan21 | June 11th, 2009
A Question from a previous post:
What is different about the healthy rawfed dog that renders him intolerable to fleas? My dog is healthy and rawfed but used to eat crappy food and get vaccinated. After getting DE there are almost no fleas. I’m still working on it and dreading another hot summer and the possibility of fleas.
It isn’t that raw fed dogs are ‘intolerable’ to fleas, just that fleas are more drawn to unhealthy animals with poor immune systems. Keep up with the good diet and no/minimal vaccines and flea treatment, and I have no doubt your dog will continue to be come less and less attractive to fleas/ticks.
