She really eats good and her hair is naturally a little on the oily side, so I bathe once to twice a week. I think your idea of buying Sentinel may be a good alternative. However, I will need to check the price here in Iowa, 50 bucks is a lot for us. Thanks so much for your post :-)

Frontline is waterproof...I give my babies a bath 1st, then wait couple of days so their skin has some oil in it, then apply.

I do have another question though. Is it safe to use flea shampoo on a yorkie puppy (I am not sure if you have a puppy or small grown adult)? I was told by Tinkie's vet never to use a flea shampoo on Tinkie. And, what type do you use?

Thanks,

My vet said not to use flea shampoo, too many harsh chemicles that can be harmful to little Yorkies. If you really have to, make sure you apply around the neck 1st, otherwise the fleas will get all over the dog's face, crawl into their eyes, nose & mouth.

It works . An u don`t have to worry about chemcials. I don`t use flea powders on molly. There are several sits that u can read up on this diatomaceous earth. Real interesting.

Hmmm, I've heard about this too, very interesting, must do some more research on it.
