Your Longevity Blueprint 120: Longevity Tips for Animals Part II, with Dr. Ruth Roberts
Many people are becoming selective about what gets injected into their bodies, but don’t think twice about having their animals vaccinated. Dr. Ruth Roberts joins me again today to talk about which vaccinations and flea, tick, and heartworm medications are necessary and which are not. She also explains how to incorporate mindfulness into our pet’s daily routine.
Options for environmental control against ticks and fleas:
- Nematodes that eat the eggs and larvae
- Borax or diatomaceous earth
- Growth regulators that prevent fleas from forming a protective layer
- Capstar tablets
- Insect growth regulators to be given orally (Lufenuron)
- Amber collars
- 0BugZone electromagnetic collars
