Flea Prevention Question We had a recent flea issue after boarding our dogs at a kennel (don't even get me started on them) and at the present moment seem to have things pretty much under control. We haven't found any in our home and we bathed the dogs and killed the ones on them and have continued to monitor them for signs of any others. Also as a preventative measure we bathed them again recently just to make sure they were good.
I want to get them some Frontline or something to keep them 100% flea free until the Winter sets in and the cold kills any that could be outside or if we missed any that could be lurking in our carpet. My fear though with that stuff is that even though the smallest dose is designed for dogs up to 22 pounds, that it may still be too strong for my little guys (they range from 4 to 9 pounds in size). I read somewhere that for small breed dogs people have used the cat version of Frontline on them as it is designed for cats in the same weight range as my Yorkies. Has anyone tried this or does anyone have any other suggestions to help prevent them in the future? Thanks!
