I give it it all of mine and have no fleas. I use the 8-in-1 with garlic. I don't use any other flea preventative on them. They absolutely love them and think they are a treat

We used it down in the desert, and it worked like a charm! It smells real yummy too! The dogs would gobble it right up! I'm not sure why it works, but it sure does!

I found this about Brewers yeast:

Yeast are microscopic fungi, single-cell organisms of the plant kingdom. Various species are abundant throughout the environment. Brewer's yeast contains essential B vitamins including biotin, minerals including zinc, and high quality proteins. These assist in the control of shedding and promote a healthy skin and hair coat.

Brewer's yeast has been fed to pets to control fleas as it seems to create an odor from the inside out that is unpleasant to fleas. This has not been confirmed through research. It has also been said the brewer's yeast will stimulate the immune system.

I got it at Walmart in the Pet section, I use it on my outside cats and Pita.
It's great! I had a mother cat who was full of fleas and passing them onto the kittens. The Brewer's yeast got rid of the fleas on all of them!
