| How often do they get baths? Maybe you should call your vet.

I give them a bath about every 2 weeks. we live out in the country where there is alot of mud puddles, alot of things to keep the dirt magnetized to them.... So sometimes more than often, I have to bathe them once a week....

| Years ago we moved into a new house (new to house, but it was an older home). Anyway, it had been well maintained, and we had all the carpets and flooring replaced BEFORE we moved in. We moved in in the late fall. Well, come spring I was doing battle with fleas and ticks like you would not believe. We could not win. Finally, someone told me that we probably had them in the house . We called around and found an exterminator who guaranteed against fleas, went away for the weekend (even though they told us the products they used were safe...don't know if any are actually safe). We repeated this 3 times (for the guarantee). No more fleas!

| Tea tree oil Maybe try adding a little teatree oil to there shampoo when you bath them. I would still use the vet stuff but the tea tree repels all those suckers the same with Avon (SSS) skin so soft. |

I have the Skin So Soft...Ok, maybe I shouldn't do this, but I do to keep their coat pretty... and it makes them smell good, and their coats are nice. Anyways, I have this spray mist body oil stuff, its in a pink bottle and its a little scented... I spray a tiny bit on them after baths....Where can I get the Tea Tree oil?

| There are two types of frontlines: Topspot & Plus. My vet said Frontline Plus is the best, but I am not sure why? By accident I bought Frontline topspot and my vet its ok for one month but try to only use Frontline Plus!

| the frontline and advantix work by mixing in the natural oils in their skin and that's how it moves all oer them so when you bathe them and wash away all the oils it doesn't have a way to get all over them. It takes a few days for that to happen and it said that it can take a few days for it to be effictive against ticks. that's why the no bath thing doesnt' say it on the boxes anymore but it used too. the companies decided they could leave that off now for some odd reason. we had a terrible time last year with fleas. One of my best friends her husband has his own exterminating co. he told me a few things to do. if you have carpet remove the bag from the house after vacuuming. the fleas get sucked up in the bag and then after your done they just climb back out. we had to have everything sprayed last year was terrible frontline didnt' work advantix didnt' work I bought everything the vet sold and everything at the feed store for fleas and it was like I was giving them fertility drugs confused: He told me that something happened to the fleas last year wasnt' just my house that most of his calls were from people saying the same thing as me. He had to order and mix different stuff to get rid of them himself. he went into a big explainnation about what happened to the fleas and why we couldnt' kill them but my mind wandered after he said I'll get em for ya.
