Lynn MacRitchie Quire, the Denver Pet Products Examiner for Examiner.com addresses an issue that’s of concern to many passionate pet lovers. She writes that “many over the counter and some prescription pest control products contain dangerous chemicals, in particular propoxur and TCVP, tetrachlorovinphos. Further, she explains that “Side effects range from allergies to skin irritations to, in extreme cases, fatalities.”

We’re thrilled she considers Halo’s more holistic perspective in her article!

The Natural Resources Defense Council, a leader in saving the environment, issued a report in 2000 called Poison on Pets, with a list of dangerous chemicals contained in flea and tick products; since then, the NRDC has helped to get most of the poisons banned, and is working on getting rid of the final two still on the market.

The issue is so important that the NRDC has created a special web site — www.GreenPaws.org — to increase awareness of pesticide use on and around pets. Many of the most popular brands of flea and tick treatments and their ingredients are listed, with possible side-effects including cancer-causing agents.

The site also has tips on how to protect your pet without the use of chemicals, including regular combing and baths.

As you probably know, Halo does not use any of these unsafe chemicals, and offers a full line of natural pet grooming products as a safer alternative for both your pet and the environment.
