first thing to do is get rid of the dogs by calling the pound. next,make sure the infestation doesn't re-occur by keeping your fleas indoors away from any dogs or even the infestation of cats.

First of all do NOT let your dog into the house because then you will have to treat your entire home for flees. That can get really expensive. Next you need to shampoo your dog in a flee killing shampoo, and then use the product " FRONT LINE". It is one of the best products out there to protect your pet from getting flees, and ticks. You will want to also treat their ears with a special product just for the ears , because that can be a very bothersome area for your pet. If you use front line flee and tick once a month on your pet you will not have that problem again. But you must place the product on the back of your pet, between the shoulder blades, every month, the product comes with a sticker that you can put on your calender so that you know when to treat them again. Make sure that you take care of the problem completely, or it will just come back.

First off bathe your pup in Dawn dish detergent. As you are washing you dog use a small bristled brush to loosen the fleas from the skin, and it also help remove flea eggs.
This sounds gross, but make sure to lift the tail and clean your dogs behind well. Fleas tend to hang out directly under the tail...were the tail meets the body.
Next, if you dog is an indoor pet vacuum your carpet over and over.
Finally, Frontline, Frontline, Frontline. This stuff is amazing.

Get a fish tank for the fleas and sell the dogs, then train the fleas to do tricks and open a flea circus.

What I find that works for me, is to take your fleas to the nearest cat shelter. Then the dogs should chase the cats, leaving your fleas free of irritating dogs. Failing that, a dogicide spray.

a great solution for you! Go to the nearest grocery store, buy a container of salt, and in the laundry detergent isle pick up a box of Borax, (not Boraxo) ..This is a laundry additive. Sprinkle both of them all thru the house on the carpet. Leave it there for a few hours, then vacuum it up. Sounds a little strange, but it does work! "Been there, done that"

Call Guiness World Records because you either have the world's smallest dog, or it's largest flea. Either way:
A Flea and a fly in a shoe,
Were stuck,
So what could they do?
Said the flea "Let us Fly"
"Let us flee", said the fly,
So they flew out a hole in the shoe!
Who?

Successful flea control includes not only the treatment of infested pets, but also the thorough treatment of
all areas where flea breeding is occurring. Any areas in which the pet spends a considerable amount of time
will produce “hot spots” of infestation that require special attention. It is important to remember flea larvae will
develop only in protected micro-habitats where there is a source of dried adult fecal pellets.
When pets spend time indoors, physical control in the home plays a vital role during flea abatement activities.
Since flea eggs and fecal pellets fall from the fur when the pet scratches itself or shakes its body, washing the
pet’s blankets and bedding material, and vacuuming habitual resting and sleeping areas helps eliminate eggs,
fecal pellets, larvae and pupae.
If the pet is permitted on furniture, these items must be thoroughly vacuumed including both sides of the seat
cushions and any folds or pockets formed by fabric. If the pet sleeps beside heavy furniture such as recliners
or beds, the floor beneath these items must be vacuumed.
Sites frequently visited must also be considered as potential flea breeding areas: the location of food and
water dishes, and the litter box are important. Cats often use overhead resting sites such as the tops of
kitchen cabinets, hutches, and entertainment centers, and these sites must be included in control activities.
Fleas can also develop between the planks of hardwood floors or beneath baseboards. After vacuuming all
potential “hot spots”, empty the contents of the vacuum cleaner into a disposable bag, seal it, and dispose of
the bag in the trash. Pesticides labeled for the control of fleas indoors can be used as a follow-up to physical
control. Always read the label carefully and follow all directions.
Outdoor areas where pets spend time must also be included in the control program. Kennels, runs, dog
houses, areas used for resting or elimination, and patrolled fence lines must be treated with pesticides labeled
for outdoor use. Carefully apply the material as directed on the label. Applications performed with pressurized
spray cans provide the most consistent and thorough
applications. Where heavy vegetation covers the ground,
make certain the pesticide penetrates the plant growth and is
applied to the soil surface.
Pets must also be included in the control program and should
be treated on the same day the home and yard are treated.
Products such as flea shampoos and sprays can provide
temporary control, but spot treatments applied to specific
areas of the pet’s body as well as oral treatments supplied by
veterinarians can be highly successful in breaking the reproductive
cycle by preventing flea eggs from developing into
adults fleas.
