        Well, I'd have to know what exactly is in it to give you a precise
answer, but most of those products aren't especially good at repelling fleas.
But as an adjunct to other types of treatment, it may help and certainly doesn't
seem to be eating.  The only thing I worry about is Klinger either a) eating it,
or b) getting it caught on something and hurting himself.  And its presence may
afford both of you some extra peace of mind, which certainly doesn't hurt....
