Do not buy the cheap Hartz stuff and all that. i don't know what size he is but I wouldn't use the collar on him either. Go to the vet and get the Advantage. They also have a spray at the vet that is for your carpetiong, beds and etc. You need to also spray down in the seams of your furniture. Wait until bedtime tho. Your dog does not need to be around all these chemicals. I'm sorry you are going thru this. We have too. We also treat our lawn but with all the rain we hae had, it doesn't do a lot of good.

Hmm.. I have never heard of using the Dawn on dry fur but it sounds like it would be a lot easier and less messy than having wet fur. I like it!
