Fleas tend to hang out in certain areas of the body. The back end is a popular place. You need to vacuum your home really well including under and in your furniture. Fleas can lay thousands of eggs in and under your furniture and carpeting. You still need to vacuum bare floors as they will lay eggs there and along the edges of the walls as well. Put moth balls in your vacuum bag or dirt holder to kill any eggs that may be left over after emptying outside. Wash any bedding.
I'm not sure what flea medication you are using but it is best to use a brand recommended by a vet. You don't have to buy from the vet but make sure it is an approved brand. There are a lot of cheap imitations out there that are harmful and do not work to kill fleas and the eggs.
When you return from taking your dog outside take a flea comb and run it through his fur to catch any bugs he may have picked up while outside. Flush them or put them in a bowl of soapy water to kill them. |
