| EEEEEEEK....fleas!?!?!? Help y'all. I think Kobi has fleas. I was just brushing him out tonight, and I noticed some little things that looked like gnats crawling on him....UCKKKKK!! I am so grossed out and scared for him. I threw him in the tub (he's there now), but idk what to do. Do I wash him with Minksheen or something else? Then do I have to treat my whole house?? He usually gets Frontline on the 15th so we were almost there, and he's due to go to the groomer's too (which he will be tomorrow since I found this...) Any help is soooo much appreciated since he is my first dog EVER Thanks in advance!!!!!

| Try bathing him with Dawn dishwashing soap and then give him his Flea treatment. I don't think you should be taking him to the groomers if he has fleas.... maybe call them first!! If he is going to the groomers hold off on the Flea treatment |

| Okay...thank you. I'll call them tomorrow and see what they say...probably not to bring him. Only thing is, I can't give him a "good" bath because I'm scared to get soap in his eyes, etc.. I know it's just fleas, but I am BUGGING out (no pun intended)! LOL

| Wash him in dawn dish soap that will kill the fleas. You only need to treatyour carpets if you know fleas are in it. If ts only a couple of fleas I doubt they are in your carpet

| Thank you. I'll be vacuuming tonight like crazy and hopefully that will help. I don't think he was "full" of them. I saw a couple as I was brushing and freaked... And he's been on Frontline for a few months so I hope it'll be okay
