| You need to go to a vet and get a prescribed flea preventative etc....what are you using to guard against heartworm? Also, flea collars IMHO are NEVER good for pups.

I would go to your Vet and get something from them. I would get either Frontline or Advantage from the Vet to use.

Ditch the flea collar and see your vet for flea preventatives and heartworm. I personally think Dawn dish soap is unnecessary. Use regular dog shampoo generously, work it in and let it sit a minute before rinsing.
