Yup! Fleas are real bad this year. We haven't gotten hardly any rain so it's been real dry. I had found a couple of fleas on my dogs so I sprayed the yard with Diazinon and got Advantix. That was earlier last month. I've noticed that they are itching again. Gonna have to repeat the treatment. But that is a heck of a lot better than my dogs suffering from a couple of pesky fleas.
Not only do fleas suck them dry, but if a dog ingests even just one flea, they can get tapeworms, too.
