Fleas lay thousands of eggs in your home. You can get them off the dog but as the eggs hatch they will jump on the animal. If you use a spot on treatment make sure you use one like Advantage II or Frontline or one your vet recommends. Most of the brands in department stores are ineffective and can actually be deadly to your dog.
It is best to vacuum you home very carefully. Make sure you do under your furniture and around the edges of your rooms, under cushions and clean all pet bedding in hot water.
Using a good flea comb on the animals at lest once a day will tell you if your efforts have been successful. |
