Fleas. I despise them. Luca Dean had a flea in his bath water the other day, but the flea was dead. We use Sentinel and he has never had a flea bath or been sprayed. And he goes to vet almost everyday. (I work there). I assume that's where he picked up the flea -- and it died from him being on Sentinel.
Ask your vet if you can get the pill that kills the fleas on them within an hour. Then, when you take him to the groomer, give him the pill right before you drop him off. That way, when you pick him up, they will all be dead. When we give "flea baths" at the vet, we give the pill and then bathe them with a gentle oatmeal shampoo -- no flea shampoo. Every dog goes home flealess. (Or maybe with a few dead fleas in their coat.) |
