April, thanks for joining us again. We’re so excited to have a product focused conversation today. Can you bring our readers up to speed on the product side?
Flea Treats were developed in 1980 as an all natural alternative for flea and tick control for dogs and cats. Flea Treats are a Vitamin B-Complex Dietary Supplement made with real liver so pets love taking them! Pesticide and hormone flea and tick treatments can be deadly to pets. They have been linked to seizures and cancer in dogs and cats. Flea Treats possible side effects are healthy skin, soft & shiny coats, and happy pets! They are great for dogs and cats – the amount given depends on the pet’s weight. Flea Treats are also very economical. Our 500 tablet bottle costs $42.95 and will last one pet under 30lbs 250 days, that’s over 8 months! We also offer a money back guarantee if a customer isn’t satisfied.

Do you have any interesting customer success stories you can share about folks for whom your product was a great fit?
We have hundreds of hand written testimonials from over the years as well as newer ones we’ve included on our website – like this one from Cindy W. in Fountain Inn, South Carolina on May 2, 2023:

“We’ve been using Flea Treats since late 2018. We have three Aussies and were afraid of the pesticides used in flea medications causing a reaction in our dogs. Someone told us about Flea Treats, and I decided to give them a try. Since starting them on the pills, we’ve not had one flea or tick! We feel confident using them and knowing there will be no reactions and our babies are 100% safe from side effects!”

Here’s one from Tamra H. in Manitowoc, Wisconsin on June 4, 2024

“Gracie (Calico Persian) and Bella (Himalayan) two rescues I adopted, that came from over together from Kuwait, and have been “flea free” since I started using your product. Thank you!”

I also received a phone call from a customer who was almost in tears explaining that Flea Treats helped his dog who had been scratching herself raw. After taking Flea Treats her fur is growing back and she’s not scratching anym0re!

How do most people hear about your product?
The previous owners sold Flea Treats at the Los Angeles, San Diego and Orange County fairs for decades. We still have customers calling to ask if we’ll be at any of the fairs, but we just can’t cover all the hours required with just the three of us. So we’ve been going to pet events in our area as well as advertising on Facebook. That has gotten us many new customers, but it’s our loyal customer base that tells family, friends and co-workers about Flea Treats. Many people would rather use non-toxic, safe flea and tick control. This is our area for growth as we just need more people to know Flea Treats are available as a natural way to keep fleas and ticks off their pets while also helping their overall well being.

What are you most thankful for?
I am thankful for Flea Treats! My guys love them and they work great! I’m thankful that Jeff and Jeanie trusted us with the company and product they worked so hard to create and build. And of course, my brother and sister! We make a great team and love working together.
