I don't see how dish soap

would do any good... but with natural flea shampoos you can bathe them more often than the regular kinds. If you're wanting to take immediate action the flea comb is the way to go -
just be sure to kill every flea you catch in the comb by pinching with with your nail. The powder we keep around just in case is NaturVet Herbal Flea Powder (
http://naturvet.com/) and it can be applied
as often as needed. If you think Gracie got it from your jack russel's bed you should be treating the bed & that dog, too. Good luck =)
