All About Pets features make interesting reading for the pet-fan. These topical features, written by Blue Cross staff, provide an in-depth look into all aspects of pet care, health, behaviour and lots more.
There are "natural" things you can use, but with 12 dogs it just may be better to buy the commercial products. Sometimes the natural things work on one dog and not the other, which means in your case the fleas might jump from one dog to the next. You can buy some good flea products at the pet store. Also, there are pyrethrum-based powders that do a good job. When I tried one of these powders on my dogs, it didn't last as long as the monthlong products, and I had to put it on our dogs about every week or so. A thought is that you can buy many veterinary supplies directly from a farm and ranch supply store (a feed store is what we call it in Texas). Also, there are pet-supply catalogs that you can use to order many of the items that you buy from your vet. These can be acquired from a friend, a pet breeder or the Humane Society -- or go online and type "pet catalog" or "pet supplies" into the search engine. Remember, too, that you must treat the dogs, the yard and the house at the same time, and usually repeat three to four weeks later. Many people swear that brewer's yeast or garlic added to your dog's diet will help repel fleas.
Cat urine is more concentrated and stronger than dog urine because cats don't drink as much water. So, it takes a little more work to deal with cat urine problems! Getting to the stain ASAP is the key to taking care of the problem and the smell!
Soak up as much liquid as possible. Use old bath towels (or a lot of paper towels!) and stand on them. Keep doing this until no more moisture comes up.
The cleaning step involves making your own solution or using one of the commercial carpet cleaners. There are very good enzyme-based pet-stain cleaners out there, and it's well worth having some on hand if your pets tend to have accidents.
For a good homemade cleaning solution for carpets, mix 1 teaspoon milk liquid dish-washing (not dishwasher) detergent with 8 ounces room-temperature tap water. Using a clean cloth or sponge, blot the area, working from the outside of the stain toward the center.

This is a tale of woe that turned out well because of your product. I have a Tortie Persian breeder female that I purchased for my breeding program. I took her to a show and Championed her. After 3 months I noticed bumps on her back.
