We just had a bout of fleas too. Kona's not on advantix or anything like that because of health concerns too. We got rid of them in a day. It was a pain and pretty pricey but he's been flea-free since:
1. Got dawn dish soap and bathed him. Lathered him good with it. We did this twice because found more fleas on him after doing this.
2. Got organic neem flea dip from natural petstore. Poured it on him after his bath.
3. Sprayed on flea spray from natural petstore. Sprayed his underbelly, fur, paws, have been spraying him daily just in case.
4. Washed all our clothes, bags, dog bed at the laundry mat since we were getting bit too.
5. Showered after each time we found fleas in him and bathed him.
6. Got our car washed and car mats shampooed.
Luckily we were travelling so we didn't have to deal with fleas In our home but that's how we got rid of them. Wish you luck, they're nasty little things.
