Did you ever wonder why the Environmental Protection Agency, rather than the Food and Drug Administration, regulates flea and tick products applied to cats and dogs?

Are you okay with that? Listen to why there might still be concerns about the safety of insect poisons for your cat, your dog, and maybe even yourself.
