Episode 58: Safest Flea and Tick Prevention for Dogs

Not Just About Dogs with Dr. Peter Dobias

In this episode, I open up about one of the most frustrating and risky challenges we face as pet parents—flea and tick control. This is a deeply personal topic for me, and I’ll explain why I no longer trust conventional flea treatments—and what I use instead.

From a terrifying moment in my early veterinary days to a game-changing discovery in Maui, I’m sharing my journey from chemicals to natural, safe alternatives that protect not only our pets but also our families and the environment.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why many popular flea and tick products are more dangerous than you think
• What is linked to neurological damage in 1 out of 5 pets
• How nature provides better, safer solutions for flea and tick prevention
• The environmental toll of conventional flea products—yes, even poisoning our water!
• My personal method for chemical-free flea control that works at home and outdoors

Essential Tips:

• Always clean your home thoroughly—treating your dog alone isn't enough
• Use herbal sprays that are safe for both your dog and your home
• Fleas love sugar, so ditch the high-carb processed foods
• Prevention doesn’t mean constant treatment—use natural options only when needed

Give your dog a hug from me, and thanks for listening!
