Sentinel has the same active ingredient as Program for the flea protection part of it.

Isn't that such a cool ingredient?! No side effects for that part of it anyway.

I'm bad, I've never read what's in it, I just know my Mom has been using it for a few years, and I had the shepherd on it all summer last year, and never saw her itching once. Am going to put all 6 of them on it this year

Sentinel is Interceptor for heartworm and Lufenuron for fleas. Lufenuron is also what is in Program.

Wow Dawn dishsoap!!! I never knew that - Thank you!!!

Take your pup for a dip in the ocean.. I know this sounds rash but my springer spaniel would get flea's sometimes and the best way i got rid of them while yard and house was being sprayed was a dip in the ocean. It worked for us.. not saying it would for you but.......

The ocean is too farrrrrr.......

but it is sure a good idea!!! (me with it)

I've been using Flea Treats for about a year now. They seem to work well but I do get the occasional flea. I think this is mostly due to fleas coming into my yard from my neighbors. I spray my yard monthly to combat this but there is no winning the flea battle if your neighbors have them. All in all, Flea Treats seem to be effective and I prefer them to chemical preventatives.

I wonder if your little could be allergic to the flea products.

I live in FL, Tricksie does not go out in the grass but yet she had fleas, I tried Advantage, Frontline, she now takes a pill Comfortis, every two months and has never had a flea. I used the Dawn Original, nothing worked until she took this pill.

Theo has such a problem with fleas since we moved to our new apartment. He would get fleas and worms from eating the fleas. (Super gross!!!) I hate the topical because of what it does to their hair, so I tried Comfortis. I LOVE it! Not a single flea on him. I am just bummed that they dont make it for cats. Ask your vet about it. It just came out a couple months ago. He actually just started stocking it because I came in wanted a pill that does more then birth control for fleas.

You can also go with the holistic approach which is even more effective at keeping fleas off.
