I have a rottweiler/german shepard mix named Dakota, he is eight years old and has always been like a big puppy - very energetic and friendly. He also grew up with my other dog, a rottweiler/dalmation mix we had to put to sleep last fall due to illness. Now my dog gets fleas every year and it's not normally a problem, but last year before the snow came I treated my yard with a dry chemical that supposedly kills the fleas as they're hatching and that didn't work. My poor dog is infested with fleas, what's worse is they are all over the house and until I can get the ones on Dakota to die there is no way to keep them out of the carpets, they'll simply remultiply on the dog and be back in the carpets - but that's only my small problem. My dog is in misery, I've tried every brand of shampoo and medicated drops (such as frontline) available in every store in my area and nothing is working. He doesn't run around the house anymore, he refuses to go outside, chews off his fur, etc.....
