Yes, Thanks Doc for the explanation. For the records, I uase the 1% solution given oral, 1/10th cc. per 20 pounds. It end up being about 1/2 cc. per dog for my shorthairs. I had to travel almost 2 hours to find a vet that would actually sit and talk with me at a consult about this. Not saying that I blame my local vets, as they do have a career in medicine and im asking how to take away some of thier buisiness. But I was dead set on doing this and just wanted to make sure Im going at it right. Our local vet is currently 3 times higher than the one I now travel to.

I do care about the health of my dogs and they do go in yearly for a check up, heartworm test and rabies as needed. As bird dog asked, what do you recomend otherwise that can save us the travel time and money. And do you know about Bio-spot being waterproof? As I can not find it in any literature. And is the permetherin safe for my dogs??
