I'm not a fan of flea and tick shampoos. You are better off using regular shampoo, a soothing one. Lather up your pup generously with the shampoo, let it sit for a minute or too while you continue to massage, rinse really well. Then condition.
Get a flea preventative from your vet. Even if you use it only temporarily, since this was something picked up on vacation.
Wash bedding frequently and vacuum daily to get rid of fleas/eggs.
Teddy is highly allergic to flea bites. All it takes it one flea to send him into an itching frenzy even when the flea is gone. We have a spray from the vet to treat his flea bites for the once a year run in with a flea or two. Definitely worth the relief for him.
We are still struggling to find an effective flea preventative for him that works and that he can tolerate.
