| Fleas are a given this time of the year. i have fought them all summer along with the ticks. My vet recommended the Advantage or the K-9 Advantix. I have had no luck with the latter except it is the only one that works on ticks. Last night i flea combed my little brood and got about six fleas off them. My fleas are the kind of long reddish brown 'hoppers'. I haven't seen any of the black fleas this summer but we had them last year. I have treated their living space with the flea spray but they go outside a lot. My husband says it would do us no good to treat the yard because wy live on a farm and they would still cross the fence line. I also wash mine with Dawn. For about two weeks after I flea treat them, i use a soapless shampoo. it makes the medicine last longer. |

| Have you tried Revolution? I switched to it because Advantage didn't work for my dog last year. I gave Piccolo the 4th dose today and so far so good...

| My dogs have been getting fleas from our yard all summer long! I use Frontline Plus. I give them each a 1/2 vile of Frontline Plus every 2 weeks. One dose per month of a whole vile wasn't lasting a whole month. I got opinions on this from 2 different vets and they both recommended me applying the Frontline every 2 weeks. But, I didn't want to break the bank, so I'm giving them each 1/2 vile every 2 weeks. It really seems to be working. |

| thee problem with dawn or Joy (both are good for fleas) is that it washes them off but doesn't stop them from going right out and getting them again. nothing to repel. |
