Posted • .balancedcanine ⚠️ Routine flea treatments aren’t just harming our dogs—they’re poisoning our rivers, killing wildlife, and devastating entire ecosystems. ⚠️

A shocking recent study has revealed that 100% of bird nests tested contained toxic flea and tick chemicals, with some nests contaminated by up to 11 different insecticides. Higher contamination levels were directly linked to more dead chicks and unhatched eggs, highlighting the far-reaching consequences of these pesticides.(Wood et al., 2024)

This isn’t an isolated finding. Another study in the Netherlands (Guldemond et al., 2019) identified 26 different pesticides, many of which are found in common flea and tick treatments for pets. In England, fipronil and imidacloprid—two widely used flea-killing chemicals—were detected in 99% of river samples, with fipronil found in 98% of freshwater sources.

These chemicals aren’t preventing parasites—they’re poisoning our environment. They leach into waterways, harming aquatic life, insects, and birds, disrupting fragile ecosystems, posing risks to our pets and our own health.

🔍 Now more than ever, it’s time to rethink routine chemical parasite treatments. There are safer, non-toxic alternatives that focus on prevention rather than repeated chemical exposure.
