How Do Wild Wolves Get Flea Free Without Frontline?

Most dog owners wonder what wild wolves and wild dogs do for Frontline.

I happened to ask a friend of mine who owns a wolf-hybrid, because she said she never had to use Frontline or Advantage on him, yet he never had a problem.

"He was infested with fleas once," she said. "I was about to put the stuff on him, but he disappeared. He returned an hour later flea-free!"

"I could not figure out for the life of me what he had done," she continued, "so the next time the fleas built up, I followed him."

"He stepped right into a nearby pond with a stick in his mouth. He let it go right in front of him. Knowing they would drown by staying on the host, the parasites walked right onto the stick. Goodbye fleas!"

Needless to say, I had a hard time believing her ... until I actually saw a wild wolf do that (recorded on a nature documentary). So I guess the conclusion is, no wolf needs Frontline in the wild!
