While I understand Farmer's Almanac's history of home remedies, tips and tricks for a variety of subjects, these days, pretty much everything pet-related can be handled in more effective ways by a vet. Why go through battling fleas at all when a simple, monthly topical or tablet can keep fleas off your pet, out of your house and put an end to a host of potentially horrible illnesses from parasites? Fleas, ticks, mosquitoes - all dangerous to your pets. Keep heartworm, lyme disease and others out of your life with safe, effective medication. As for stomach upset, usually skipping a meal or two will resolve it but definitely consult a vet. General care and grooming tips - these are great.
