Precisely correct. The use of chlorophyll to prevent bitches in heat from attracting males is common among dog owners and dog breeders...although stories of its failures were common when I was working as a veterinarian. There is no real evidence to my knowledge that supports the efficacy of chorophyll to prevent male dogs being attracted to females in heat, or their detection of females in heat. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
