Fleas

[furman]

We have a little dog that’s a flea bag. I went to the vet and bought that Frontline stuff where you have apply it to the back of the neck once every month
Well….it works for about one week and the fleas are back and I had a three month supply and have used it all up and the dog still has fleas……
He’s a inside dog but will be a outside dog here soon if we don’t get rid of these fleas
I need help to get rid of these bugs

wash the dogs bedding and if you have carpet you got to spray that with some stuff.

Go to your co-op, get some flea dip, wash the dog. fleas can get bad in grass too, I had em bad in my yard once, they'd eat me up while feeding. mixed up a couple batches of bug juice in the garden sprayer, had to do it 2-3 times, finally got them all. that's probably how your pup is getting re-infested. the stuff i used is food safe, i sprayed the whole house too.

You got any Cats?

go to the vet and get the pills called comfotis or something like that give the dog one pill a month and every flea that bites them dies.

We have two cats and no carpet all of our floors are tile or laminate flooring
Done the washing in bug shampoo about once a week and spent 40 bucks at the vet on that frontline that stuff
I’ll check out that comfotis pill and I think that I’ll spray down the yard because the dog spends most of the day outside maybe the trouble is out there. The only trouble is that we live on a farm but I’ll hit everything around the house.
I’ve been around dogs all my life but I have never seen such a flea magnet

Fleas seem to come on quick, a few today, then you're covered up. walk out in the yard barefoot, i'll bet that's the problem. even after you wash the dog/cats and they're clean, soon as they dry off and go for a squat they're infested again.

hands down, this stuff is awesome. Frontline quit working for me this year. I switched to Advantage, but with my kids loving all over my dogs, they were getting on them. So the vet recommended this, and talk about fantastic!

Does nothing for ticks though, so you still have to put a preven-tic collar on them. But it really really really does work.

Oh, and comfortis is cheaper! My vet charges around 17 dollars for a single dose of frontline, but only 12 for comfortis.
