Gidget had flea from the neighbors and we finally got rid of all of them (well both her and myself havent been bit anymore ... thank goodness)
I had got the Advantage for her but it didn't help after a week they just got worse so we got the Zodiac flea shampoo from Petsmart and washed her good with that (you leave it on for 5 min ... boy that was fun :P) anyhow with that and giving her a buzz cut (I couldn't get to them in the longer hair) and getting this naturals spray from petsmart too, the house and Gidget seem to be flea free in 2 days
you can spray the stuff on pets and then on furnature floors etc. Also stuff that i was told was to powder your pup in brewers yeast (outside) and the fleas willl jump off....(the reason why the neighbors have not bites....they drink beer like water) Also fleas dont like citrus so if you bathe them in Garne Frutris shampoo they will repell (and smell nice....the flea stuff we got smells kinda industrial) Also if you put baby powder on your carpt it sufficates them I guess......I tryed that and vacumed super good and it seemed to work. Also if you get a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcahol you can spot kill them (the buggers always seemed to jump befoer I could make the kill) you just put on the cotton ball the they die right away (a few seconds) but it can be drying for the pups skin. I HATE fleas so I wanted to pass on little things that i tryed that actually worked.
It is awful seeing your pup suffering
