I have 2 pit pupps and I just noticed that they have fleas. I also noticed that they have been shedding part of their hair because of that. They're small areas, but they're still visible. I need some effective please!!!

Those bald patches of hair could be allergies, Pitts have allergy problems. Your house is already infected with fleas and flea eggs, so I suggest that you go out for a day while you flea bomb your house, take your pets with you cause this can harm them. Vacuum when you get home, give your dogs a bath and put frontline on their necks, frontline tends to have no allergy reactions for pitts, or you could buy some flea collars, these need to be replaced more frequently though.

You don't say how old your pups are. Some products can't be used on young pups. Go to your vet and buy a good flea shampoo. Or better yet take the pups into the vet. The hair loss could be a form of mange or ring-worm. Both can be passed on to you.

Put cedar chips in their doghouses-it helps tremendously, and it cuts down on ticks too! You only need to add more cedar once or twice a year, and its inexpensive. Located in pet section of department store. Makes the dogs smell great, too!
