I have no idea why advantage is not working, but my vet said they have had a lot of complaints about it and he uses Frontline. I would not put it on every 2 weeks no matter what the vet says.

it sounds like you have a bad flea problem in yiour home. You need to treat your entire home and pay special attention to the dog beds.

You can also bath your dog with Dawn dishsoap. It does work to rid your dog of fleas but will not prevent them from returning.

If you do not get the problem under control it can cause your dog to develop allergies to the flea bits an ultimately cause bad skin infections that are extremely hard to get rid of.

If it were me, I would also treat the area around the house for fleas and then keep the dog inside, if the infestation is that bad in yiour area.
