| My sister uses a flea collar on her dog, but he always has fleas. I use Revolution on my 2 girls. No fleas here. |

| Don't like the flea collars, you might need to phone your vet to find a different solution to fleas.

| The flea season is just horrible this season! 2 different vets recommended giving frontline every 2 weeks. I have been doing this and it really has been keeping the fleas away! Also, give him a bath once a week with Dawn dishwashing detergent. It kills ALL the fleas! |

| getting rid of fleas can be a part time job i was told flea collars are toxic and they can choke on them. did you try a flea shampoo. i used gold medal from walmart and it worked. romeo got fleas from the groomer. i used flea shampoo , bombed my house with flea bombs from walmart, washed all bedding , and vacumed like a crazy woman. no fleas since. i used k9 advantix every 3 weeks for maintenance. fleas suck. |
