The dogs are close enough in size to share preventative. No problem.

Wash it in the hotest water the fabric can stand. Vacuum anything you can not wash. If your vac uses bags...throw the bag in the trash outside afterwards. Boriac acid....is boriac acid. It's a powder. I purchase mine from a feed and seed type of place as it's used in horse barns to kill insects. The dawn you are looking for...is blue without any other ingrediants...like lemon scent or anti bacterical agents. If you can not find that....use a dish soap which cuts grease. Lather up puppy...and let sit for a few minutes...rinse really really well.

If she is going to the vet tomorrow...and you get the flea preventative you want to wait 24 hours before putting the preventative on her. Do not bathe her for 24 hours after applying and be sure to use dog shampoo when you do. Anything else can affect the effectiveness of the preventative.

If you do not have her on heartworm preventative...I'd start that too.
