If your dog will jump in the nearest river, pond or lake given half a chance, don't use spot-on treatments for fleas and ticks, say researchers.
Dogs pollute water with pesticides even weeks after flea treatment
When dogs given spot treatments for fleas go swimming, they release levels of pesticides dangerous to aquatic life for at least a month after the treatment
