I always buy frontline but its a bit of a trek to the Vets and as my 2 doggies were constantly scratching at the weekend I bought a cheaper spot on flea treatment from Wilkinsons. It doesn't seem to be working so that trek to the vets is imminent! Frontline may be more expensive but it does work!!!

gotta treat the house, the yard and the dog, fleas have a life cycle, birth is every two weeks, spray every two weeks for at least 6 weeks. Use Triazicide Spray on the yard, keep kids and pets off until dry and Adams Flea spray is good inside, on furniture, carpet and spray on your pet; again keep kids and pets off until dry, vacuum every other day to pick up dead and dying fleas. I use this method at my house and I DO NOT have fleas. OH yeah, Frontline on your pet, helps prevent another infestation

You may have to pony up the money and buy the good stuff from the vet, then spray your house as well.
My cat (and house) had fleas BAD, so I bought some Advantage for her and sprayed the house thoroughly and kept her outside of a while. Then, I sprayed the house again a few days later.
Fleas were gone and as long as I put the stuff on her every month, they stay gone.

i live in the country and i can tell you what works fast, first give the dog a bath, with regular dog shampoo, rinse the dog off than bathe it with flea and tick shampoo, let them dry off than, i found a three month formula at wal-mart, very cheap, its call three something, and there are three tubes. (one for each month), they are small tubes and easy to work with, all you do is open the tube and make sure you squeeze it in a line where it goes all the way down the dogs spine from the neck to the butt, i gave this to my dog and it actually took a month and a half before she got fleas again

got to the pet store and get some Happy Jack flea dip. Bath and dip him and then use the frontline or advantix to keep them away. you may have to dip the dog again in 7 - 10 days to kill the eggs that hatch

Yes, Frontline is the best product you can get. Some dogs get flea allergies too.

use Ivory dish soap saturate the dog in the soap then rinse and to get rid of them around the house use borax it's a powdered laundry soap but it will kill fleas spread it on the floor wait a half hour and then vacum it off and you will be flea free

try front line for 19.95 I heard it really works. Go on petco.com and like at Fleas and Ticks for cats and find one. Also you can read Customers reviews to see if it really works and is not a waste of money
