No quick and easy way to get rid of fleas. First, you have to treat your dog with either a bath with flea shampoo, or flea spray. Then you have to wash all his bedding and spray it with flea spray. If he stays in the house, you have to clean and spray any upholstered surfaces he gets on. And don't forget the carpet. After two weeks, you do it all again. Then two weeks later, you do it again; and so on until you don't see fleas anymore. You have to keep repeating the treatment because eggs are unaffected by most sprays and shampoos and are continuing to hatch. The best thing you can do for your dog is go to your vet and get a product called Revolution. You use it once a month and it not only keeps fleas off your dog, it also protects against heart worm and West Nile virus. Then all you have to do is treat the furniture and stuff until all the eggs are gone.

Flea baths work great, but make sure to follow the directions properly. Others, use the flea picks where you can brush your pet and the bristles are very fine and close together that they you're able to catch the flea and kill it. Since they are very quick and hard to smash if you use this method, I think having a bowl of water to dip them into works well before you destroy the flea. What I would recommend though which I do is using a topical treatment such as Frontline, Advantage, etc. ( I would recommend buying them at 1-800 Pet Meds as this does costs a pretty penny, but you only need to put it one once a month) I use Frontline as it's a repellent to ticks and I bring my husky hiking all the time, but if you don't really take your pet to areas where ticks are abundous Advantage works fine as well against fleas. Hope I could have helped.

I don't know that really is a quick way to get rid of fleas.
If the dog has fleas, then most likely so does the house and yard.
You need to treat the dog, the house and the yard to get rid of fleas.
For the dog use Frontline, Advantage.
For home and yard by foggers and sprays with an insect growth regulator (IGR) in them. A product with no IGR only kills adult fleas, while a product with an IGR kills adults and eggs. If you don't kill the eggs you'll only end up with a flea problem again in a couple weeks.

Depending on the age of your pet, you can use flea shampoo, no collars they are useless, and they sell over the counter products like spot on treatments. But if you cant get anywhere right away bath her, but its not gonna help with out a preventive if the fleas are in the home, once bathed they will get right back on her. There is no sure fire "quick way" to get rid of flea's w/o proper treatments...
