Is there any way you can keep Khloe out of the woods and confine her to a small area of the yard? I don't know what other choice you have other than constantly running the flea comb through her when she comes in. There is an all natural product called diatomaceous earth that is a powder that you can treat your yard with and put on your dog. It kills all kinds of bugs, even ticks. You have to make sure you get the 'food grade' form of it. People use it for all kinds of things. I know there are a few here on YT that use it. It does have to be reapplied every couple of days to your pet but with a little one the size of your dog that should not be too difficult. You have to be careful not to inhale it also. Some people give it internally to kill worms and other things. You should read about it online. It is kind of an interesting product.
