Thanks all much appreciated. Capstar it is.

Hi All, We have used Sentinel Spectrum on our dog since she was a puppy and she has never had fleas. We were at the vets yesterday for her annual vaccination and I had the vet check her and yep, still no fleas/ We are visiting our in-laws on Sunday and unfortunately they live on a farm and their dog does have fleas. How can I protect Lilli from picking up fleas from Sunshine (inlaws dog) I know Sentinel is effective on the life cycle of fleas but it clearly states that it does not kill adult fleas. How effective are the flea collars on live adult fleas? Would this be enough protection for her if I bought one just for Sunday. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Shazmn

Hi all, Our beautiful girl is 13 months old and on and off since she was about 8 months has been displaying a weird form of resource guarding. For instance, yesterday I gave her a dentastik as I cannot give her bones because she goes nuts - a little like Jekyll & Hyde. Very nasty. Yesterday I gave her the dentastik and she didn't want to eat it like she normally does, she just sat in the corner of our lounge room and would not let anyone within 2 feet of her before she would growl, ears back etc. I have an appointment with a dog behaviourist next weekend to address this problem but I just thought I would ask if any of you have experienced similar displays of this type. Occasionally she will sit out in the backyard and watch every move I make - just staring - it is rather unnerving. We bought her from a breeder who breeds for temperament (show lines) but this behaviour is baffling. The other issue is at times she will completely ignore my commands and other times is a perfect little angel. We do obedience training every Saturday and she is great. I am at a loss with this growling/guarding and was hoping someone could give me a few pointers on the correct way to address it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Shazmn
