| None, I work on ridding the house and yard of these problems. Works well for me. |

| Yes, I agree..I do not allow a pregnant bitch in a treated yard..perhaps some have tried a natural product that works..but really the only thing that works is to prevent an infestation...it can be hard. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | My 2 cents - Never had a pregnant doggie nor fleas - but always treated the yard and surroundings with never a flea problem for years - I've since moved and do need to protect my 2 but everyone gave you good advise does she have fleas right now ? |

| I bought some Diatomaceous Earth when Layla got pregnant and it did rid the yard of bugs, however I was still having to bathe her in Dawn often and put all pet and human bedding in the dryer for hours a day to control the fleas. I took her to the vet at about day 40 and he told me it would be ok to put Frontline on her. |

| We have not had any fleas here for years, but that could be my geographical location? I had seen other parasites, but fleas, never had them in the house ever ( thank you Lord ! ) , ticks we find every now and then, but it has been 2 years since we got one in our "BamBam" . I do not have many dogs, but i may have been just blessed ! I did have ear mites though and these were so annoying ... and a trial to get rid of it ! But never had it while a preggo mom around! XOXO
