I called the vet and he said that the flea population this year is the worst it has been in YEARS! okay, fastforward....found one on Albert and then I was just plain MAD.<br />We had thought of switching their flea meds but according to the vet what they are on is THE BEST one around because it is so new and fleas haven't developed a resistance to it yet. We had to treat our yard. But, we have a smaller yard. And then we used a flea shampoo too.<br />One thing the vet said to do was to give the dogs a capstar right before we treated the yard so nothing would be contaminted.<br />Hope this helps some. Oh and they are on Vectra for flea control.<br /><br />Allison3 doxieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13717992332050041160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560630535267687825.post-52847412116347505092010-10-27T12:19:08.151-04:002010-10-27T12:19:08.151-04:00That is terrible.

A totally different story now that we are in VA and they have a yard to run around in and trails to hike. Now we can't be even one day late on the frontline, or the fleas start moving in. They totally give me the creepers too!<br /><br />SandraSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056408957236779408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560630535267687825.post-19766993981669345862010-10-27T09:50:36.465-04:002010-10-27T09:50:36.465-04:00Oh we're so sorry to hear about the fleas atta...Oh we're so sorry to hear about the fleas attack! Fleas are actually a common problem over here as we are in a tropical country. So we have to give Eva Frontline Combo every 1 1/2 months in order to prevent her from getting any fleas.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17770349713578695608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560630535267687825.post-67566271825103307062010-10-26T12:04:45.322-04:002010-10-26T12:04:45.322-04:00wow they are excellent if they work,

We had our first flea sighting here, too. It wasn't long after we brought Morgan home, so I don't know if that played into it or not, but we've been very vigilant about treating for fleas, ticks and heartworm. We only saw one, but that was enough to freak me out!

That might be a good idea for your bed! <br /><br />put commet (with borax in it) in your vacuum bag and vacuum your rugs a lot. (The borax sticks to them and kills them)and lastly buy a flea comb. <br /><br />We get them every now and again due to the cats in the yard and I have found that constant flea combing (twice a day) helps keep them down. If you have a really bad infestation I've helped a friend spray malathon in her backyard to keep her dog from being re infested. <br /><br />good luckCarrie and Wafflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239961151153685907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8560630535267687825.post-51035897602791191702010-10-25T13:17:17.431-04:002010-10-25T13:17:17.431-04:00Fleas are not fun!

(He's so allergic just one flea bite will make him itch for days and he'll get scabs everywhere) The thing we've found works best is Advantix so far. Good luck, they're no fun!Ally and Eclipsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05353928230130764060noreply@blogger.com
