I still can't believe my neighbor who's been her 4 years said her chi has never had fleas and she uses nothing - he walks in the same grass as my girls do only I walk further around the complex - she just steps outside her door with her dog - We do real Walks - so maybe it isn't my part of the apartments ? |
I kind of have the same problem. The girl across the hall from me has two dogs that she says don't get fleas. But she just walks them right outside. We do real walks, too. It's such a pain...especially with the long hair! And Sadie's little wiggle-butt doesn't like me to get them. She did get pretty patient with it last year, but still.
But we also have a lot of critters around here (beavers, nutrias, bunnies, squirrels, etc) so I'm thinking that's part of the problem, too. I'm sure that doesn't help AT ALL. I asked my apts to treat last year & they said they would, but how would I know if they did or not? I'm sure they were just telling me that. Luckily, this year, one of the women who works in the office lives here & she has two dogs, so hopefully if hers start getting fleas she will have them do something about it.
