Wow, thanks everyone for your replies. I just put a flea collar on Sadie two hours ago. I think I will cut in up, and tape it underneath dressers, etc., that she cannot get to.
Where did you buy Frontline? Is it a Walmart product, or do I need a prescription?
Thanks.
Kate

I bought some Frontline...and she seemed to improve...but not completely.
Anyway to make a long story short...we now use Frontline once a month, bathe weekly with flea and tick shampoo, and monthly I treat my carpet and furnature with Raid Flea and Tick killer. (by the way the Raid is safe if you do one room at a time and keep them out of the room for about 5 hours after spraying, or until the smell goes away.)
Even with all of this she still gets an ocassional flea that lives for a few hours before this arsanal of killers gets to it.
Good luck with your flea problem |
