-What should I do? I can't find any more fleas but with all of his hair they could be in there somewhere.

-Should I bathe him and reapply treatment, just reapply treatment, or just give him a bath?

-Does clipping his hair shorter make a difference in terms of fleas and ticks?

Thanks!

It's actually what type of food dogs eat that change their body chemistry and attract fleas.

Mine have never had a flea or tick and I do not use those harsh chemicals on them.
After a bath, I use BRAGG apple cider vinegar mixed with water as a final rinse. When we travel, I take along a spray bottle with 8 ounces of water (I use distilled or bottled water) 6 drops of tea tree oil and 6 drops of lavender oil. All natural, and it works to keep fleas off!!
