Does anyone have a sure way of ridding a dog of fleas?

Question

l live in a tropical area and the dogs are allways getting infested with fleas they are driving me mad

Answer 1

Once-a-month topical insecticides are applied to a small area on your pet's back, are probably the easiest product to use, and generally last the longest. Some kill fleas and ticks, and others just kill fleas, so check the label carefully. Ingredients generally include permethrin, pyrethrin, or fipronil. Examples include
Bio Spot, Advantage, K9 Advantix, Frontline Top Spot, Revolution, and Defend. .

Answer 2

Feed your dog Brewers Yest tabs every day according to bottle, so many tabs to so much dog. It'll take maybe a week or two to get into their system but fleas don't like the taste of your dogs blood with Brewers, they will jump off. Ticks will die. Also try flea fogging or bombing, such as Zodiac flea-fogger kit. 3 cans for $15 or so. Follow up with regular baths and grooming, possibly even some spot-on flea treatment, again, such as Zodiac. Please stay away from flea collars, they do not work well. A friend of mine actually had a cat die from flea collar poisioning. Good luck.


Also for any pup or kitten under 8 weeks use any citrus detergent or shampoo. They will not hurt your pet. They are mild on our skin and so it will be with thiers.

Answer 3

get either frontline or advantage and u will be flea free if u use it every month for the rest of ur dogs life. I cant imagine how life would be use it if we didnt use it monthly i guess probably itchy ha.

Answer 4

i found that the safeway home brand wool wash does a wonderful job and is much cheeper than the vet one, but does require alot more work in bathing the animal

Answer 5

the veterinarian has products that work such as K9 Advantix and others. You can view what is available at Petmeds.

Answer 6

1st you must get under control of your yard.
Once this is done, bath your dogs & apply Frontline.
