SentryPro XFC
Never, ever, EVER give your dog SentryPro XFC flea and tick control. It’s tantamount to poison, and I feel awful because I was stupid and didn’t do research before applying it.

Thomas Friedman’s Sunday NY Times Column. Sometimes his writing is insightful, other times it’s just pompous.This column fortunately falls into the former category.
