| Fleas!! I have oficcially got fleas, this is not normal, I have poisoned the whole house, Otto and Nita are both on advantage it is NOT working (Otto used to be on Frontline, it didnīt work either) ,they are both still scratching. Iīm getting despreate, is there anything that you guys reccomend, theses fleas are tough. Iīm also thinking cause I havenīt seen a flea for a couple of days whether they might just be sore from the bites and whether there is anything I can put on them to ease the scratching, Otto also got Tapeworms but has been dewormed. This has just been a horrible first summer for the both of them, Iīm guessing they got the fleas from the place we used to go for walkies every day (We are NOT going there anymore) I am taking them to the vet to ask him but if you have any ideas I would really appriciate them |

| I'm so sorry to hear! Fleas are the worst! Did you 'flea-bomb' the whole house? As in spray flea killer everywhere? We've had to do that a few times. We usually give Yoda a flea bath, to get rid of all the fleas currently on him, then flea-bomb the house, then leave the house for a bit to air it out (or stay outside for a bit), then come back hopefully to a flea-free home. |

| Hi Eyglo! We use K9 ADVANTIX on our dogs once a month. We get it from our vet and have had NO problem with fleas and ticks, plus it deters mosquitos, too. The stuff we get from our vet works much better than stuff we can by in the stores, so even though it costs more sometimes, it's worth it. Hope you can buy this product in Spain! |
