| I didn't recognize her myself. My husband brought her home from the groomers and I freaked out. I told him that wasn't my dog haha. Do you think she knows that she looks different? Maybe because she might feel lighter from getting all that hair cut off. I kind of miss it! |

| I think she probably feels a little different, but she has to feel much cooler. It grows back if you really want it long again. It will just take some time. She's still a cutie, and I'll bet she kisses and cuddles the same. She has a sweet face. I think if I cut Sofia short she would look like a rat, she so small. Even my groomer laughed and said it would be best to keep her long. |

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | Yr sweet Bella does look so different, but she's still a Cutie. Did you tell them to cut her short? I was recently very surprised when the groomer cut off almost all of Bella's hair on legs. It was really Long. But.....it will grow back. It's been so much better during this Hot weather, for sure. We sure Love our "Bella", don't we!!

| Well, she's been having problems with fleas. Nothing I do works. Just yesterday I found a flea on her but didn't catch it so I decided to comb her for 30 minutes. Nothing! So then I gave her a a bath using Dawn (since other flea shampoo I have doesn't seem to work). I didn't see any dead fleas at all and I know I saw one. So then I combed her again after her bath and finally I spot the damn flea on the top of head..still alive even after using Dawn. I put some flea medication on her and she was stretching like crazy still so today I decided she should go to the groomers to get a cut and another flea bath hoping they can get all the flea off. I really didn't expect her cut to be this short though. |

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | Also, for monthly flea control, I use Comfortis for Bella. It's also in pill form. If interested, here's website: Comfortis4dogs.com - Home

| Thanks! I would like to try that since I've tried so many different kinds of flea medication that goes on her back...they all don't seem to work. Would you say I wait til next month to try since I just put some flea med on her yesterday? |

| Wow, what a difference! She is beautiful either way. And that short hair will keep her cooler for summer!

YT Addict | She is a little doll!! But now I am interested in the flea treatment! Mia has not had that problem but worry about some of the stuff out there being to harsh for her little body. More research, but Mia loves it since we (I mean) I sit and research while I rub her tummy. We work as a team and we learn a lot! |

I would definitely wait on giving her the Comfortis til next month since you've already given her flea med. I used Frontline on Bella in the past & it didn't work well for her. Comfortis has worked great. Hope yr little Bella finds some relief very soon!

Remember, Capstar is Not a mthly flea treatment. You will only need 1 pill & it gets rid of the fleas that's on her Now. The price for that, I think, was less than $5. The reason I mentioned Capstar & to check with yr Vet is because you said you had already given her a flea treatment recently. You don't want to give her another flea treatment now. It would be too much chemicals for her little body to handle.
