Raven, do you give the alovera in his food, or is it topical?

Healthy dogs cannot get pest infestations, so I focus on boosting and maintaining my dog's immune system. An optimally functioning immune system works well on its own to defend the body from internal and external pests. I give my dog a product called Liquid Aloe Vera Plus made by Country Life. It is aloe vera juice loaded with herbs such as turmeric, turkey rubarb, ginger, and other herbs that support immune function, healthy GI tract, and are antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and cleansing/detoxifying.
My Golden Guy had a weak immune system and ended up getting fleas last September. I gave him 1 oz daily for a week of the liquid aloe vera plus, and he no longer had fleas by the end of the week. This product contains ginger and burdock root, which are herbs known for being pest repellent, among other benefits. For a maintenance dose, I give him 1 oz 3 times weekly. For a therapeutic dose when he is sick, I give 1 oz daily for 7 days. I have only used the therapeutic dose 3 times within the past year and a half, and it has worked 100% of the time to restore health.
It comes in a 32 oz bottle, and only costs around $15, and lasts for 2 and a half months. Less costly, less toxic, and an overall healthier alternative to conventional pesticides.
Check out the product and its ingredient list at the links below:

I don't worry about heartworm since the chances  of my dog getting an infestation are nil.
Want to know why I avoid flea, tick, and heartworm pesticides? Check out some of the below articles to gain an understanding of how harmful and toxic these products are for you and your four-legged friends.
