Do NOT use OTC flea products including flea collars %26amp; shampoos.These are worthless at best and can be very harmful to your dog including causing death.They also can be harmful to anyone with allergies or asthma. Use Frontline or Advantage from the vet. Vacumn your house everyday.If your vacumn has a bag empty the bag into an outside trash container every time you vacumn.Wash all dog beds. Get a household spray from your vet to use in your house. Be particually careful to vacumn and treat around baseboards, under furniture, under and around couch and chair cushions, mattresses %26amp; box springs and other dark, warm areas. Also vacumn your car since you can carry fleas and eggs on your clothes and shoes.If you have a light infestation it will only take a matter of a few days to rid your home of fleas however if you have a heavy infestation then it could take 3-4 months. Even if you see fleas on your dog after treating with Frontline it doesn't mean it isn't working..it simply means you still have fleas in the enviornment and they are getting on the dog.This is fine because once they come in contact with the treated dog they will die as will any eggs they lay.
have the dog wear a flea collar after being defleaed at the groomers
take him to the vet.
I'll tell you what, this is going to sound strange, but Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo really worked on my dog. Makes me wonder about what we're putting on our babies, but still . . .
Run the sweeper everyday if you have them in your carpet use flea powder onthe carpet ther'e going to have to cycle the adult s will die eventually but the eggs and young will die now it's a battle but you will win in the end .
Fleas are parasites that live on or around animals. If you live in a humid climate like the Southeast, it will be a year round problem. You must treat the animal, the house, and the yard (if the animal goes out).


Front line is okay, but not a stand alone. Treat your house. Liquids work better, but may not be practical for you. If not, use an aerosol on your floors, carpets and furniture. be sure to get something that is labeled for fleas in the house. And vacuum all the time. Vac before you treat. When you see fleas again-repeat. Keep at it til fleas are gone. Let at least 7 days pass before retreating. Shampoos are worthless, except for washing the dog. No shampoo is any more effective than regular soap or shampoo. Don't pay money for flea shampoo-soap suds work just as well.


You may have to take your child out while you treat. If you wait about an hour before you bring the child back, and ventilate the home-you should be okay.





Recap-


1. treat animal


2. treat floors and furniture


3. treat yard if applicable


4. vacuum, vacuum, vacuum.





Bt the way-don't be afraid to vacuum. And Don't use any Hartz Mountian products-its dangerous.
I have two dogs and I have had a lot of luck using garlic tablets for them. I was told by a breeder that garlic is a natural way to keep the fleas away.





If you find that you dog has fleas, the best thing that I ever had was directly from the vet. It was a shampoo to kill the fleas %26amp; eggs and a spray for the house. You spray it on the furniture, carpeting, beds everything in the house.





Remember that fleas can live off of humans as well, they will bite you just like they will bite your pets, so they aren't something to play around with.





Good Luck!
You don't just treat the pet if you have a bad case you will need to treat your house and your yard. You can buy products that should take care of the yard and home at your local pet store. Make sure you vacuum a lot and wash any bedding or areas that your dog is always lying in.





Good luck
