| Help....Louis has fleas! Could someone please tell me a safe product to use to get rid of fleas? I posted before and someone suggested dawn dish soap. I used that 2 times and he still has fleas. I found one last night after I gave him a bath. He is scratching like crazy. I feel bad for him. Thanks. |

| I have did the dawn baths before and sometimes it kills all the fleas but ssometimes not. I would get a flea preventative from your vet. I get mine from my vet or Petco. I use advantage and it has always killed the fleas

| I've used the dawn and it worked. You really have to work it in good and then rinse for a long time. But it will not get rid of fleas in your house or in his bed. It does not prevent future infestations. For that you need flea products. I use frontline plus. But I olnly use it when they have fleas, I do not use it all the time. |

| I will try the dawn again and wash all of his bedding. Frontline is safe for yorkies? |

whatever you do, please do not use any over the counter, or generic grocery store brands, such as HARTZ.....I would really tell you to call your vet, and get your dog on a flea/tick prevenative......good luck!

| I would suggest Frontline Plus or K9 Advantix. I've used both and they both work really well to kill fleas. Good luck!
