Up until my Dane died last August I fed my dogs nothing but grocery store crap (this was when I was nutritionally stupid!).

Got Bailey last September and began learning about GOOD nutrition for dogs. We tried most super-premiums until we settled on Timberwolf Organics.

In Kansas City, fleas have always been a huge problem. This is the first and only year I have not seen one flea on any of my dogs and while not using flea treatments, baths, dips, and/or flea collars (+ same back yard for over 25 years).

I told my wife (who thinks I'm now a dog food fanatic) that I thought the higher quality food that we are feeding them might be responsible for the lack of fleas (healthy dog + healthy coat = natural flea repellent). Yesterday, she admitted that I just might be right about the fleas - that feeding them much higher quality food might be a major reason.

Anyone else have this turnaround with past flea problems just by feeding higher quality foods?

We've never had problems with fleas anyways, but you're not the only person I've heard this from.
