Ontop of garlic, try some brewers yeast in your dogs food alone.
It comes out in their skin and bugs don't like it.

I use a powder combination of Brewers Yeast, Garlic(fresh) and black Walnut... Sprinkle over food 2 times a week.
Also, I have been told that orange oil dilutes in water works too. Spray it on your pets. Only a few drops to a spray bottle does the trick.
Good Luck.

Stuffing their beds with southernwood (a common garden plant) really helps stop the fleas getting comfy there, but it won't kill fleas already on the dog

My dogs had the same problems. Never use flea and tick collars they never work. Try FRONTLINE. Its a liqid medican that you put on there backs. It works really good!

i have heard if you bathe the animal with dawn dish soap that is supposed to kill on contact. But be sure you get all the soap off them when you rinse.
