| If you put the liquid stuff (i.e. Frontline or Advantix, do NOT use the liquid from the store, only get it from your vet) on her shoulder blades where it is supposed to go, she will not be able to reach it to lick it off. |

Well take it off of her and keep an eye on her. If she starts acting funny, take her to the vet. Otherwise, you probably took it off in time and she should be fine. | |

| Put your flea collar in your vaccum bag. It will kill fleas that you sweep up in your vaccum
