[LailasMommi]

Please help me. When we first welcomed Laila into our home, I noticed she had this little brown stuff on her. I did my research and found out it was flea dirt not regular dirt. I was livid, but kept my cool as I did not want my husband to freak out. I took all the proper precautions and took care of it that day. I did not see any fleas on her or anything at all, just the flea dirt. I also put her on Sentinel as well that very day. I have been afraid to put her down outside now. I have not let her down at all outside since that day. We have had her a little over a week.

Please give me some pointers and if I am just being too paranoid. Is the Sentinel enough? Also, we move to our new home soon so I want to treat our yard with flea and tick killer. Is there anything that works but is safe for animals.

PS: As of now we live in an apartment complex near woods. I have seen Skunks and deer in our yards before. This is another concern.
