Is it safe to combine natural flea chews with flea powder for dogs & cats?

Question

Is it safe to use Only Natural Pet Brewer's Yeast & Garlic Skin & Coat Chewable Tablets Dog & Cat Supplement in conjunction with Zodiac Flea & Tick Powder for Dogs, Puppies, Cats & Kittens? The chewable tablets are supposed to make the dogs smell unappealing to the the fleas and ticks while the powder kills them, so that is why I want to know if using them together is safe.

Yes, the products can be used together. Zodiac flea and tick powder can be quite irritating to a dog's eyes, nose, throat and lungs and is a very harsh chemical, so it is not my favorite method of flea control. I much prefer using a topical spot-op or oral flea and tick prevention which will work better and likely be safer and less irritating for Alice. The oral tablets are safe, but are likely not as effective as the other products on the market. I am attaching a handout below on flea control and a second one that has a link to current flea products on the market for dogs that might be helpful for you. https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951999 https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952808 Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.
