Hi, I found 3 little fleas on my 3 1/2 month old Emma. I kind of look for fleas every day because she loves to lie on her back an I rub her belly (I know they like to hide under the armpits). and haven't seen anything until today. She has no flea dirt on her and had not been scratching at all until this morning.

I have 2 cats who do not go outside and have never had fleas (I need to check them today--but one is rescue cat that does not like to be held). He will wear a collar, so maybe I need to get a flea collar just in case.

Emma had not been outside until last night and day before yesterday, when my partner took her out and he decided she "liked" it.

This is what I've done so far: I bathed her in special puppy flea shampoo (quality and safe) and then combed her thoroughly with a flea comb. I've washed all of her blankets in hot water (including mine that she like to snuggle with me in). I'm wondering what to do with the toys that can't really be thrown in the wash and her actual bed (made of memory foam). My first impulse is to throw them in the dryer on hot----thinking the heat would kill anything, but then wondered if the heat would make any eggs/etc. worse. I have a central vac, so I'll vac everything too. My couch and chair that she spends time on are leather (can eggs hide there?)

I really want to nip this in the bud, so any tips other than what I've already done this morning would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Sammer
