  • Keep up theFrontline religiously everysingle month. That’s whatwedoandwenever see a flea. Once thefleas aregone,thehair willgrow back. Ifforsomereason Frontline stops working,switch toAdvantage onthenext month anddothatforawhile. Sometimes fleas getresistant toone ofthesetreatments andyouhavetoswitch back andforth.

    Ifyoueverrunintoa mid-month problem,don’t usetheFrontline a second time –toohigh a dosage. Gotothevet andgeta pill called Capstar thatwilltemporarily killallthefleas onthedog. Thatshouldhold youover until thenext scheduled Frontline treatment.

    I once herd ofshaving thedog,butI amnotsure,that’s whatwedidtomybrother’s friend whenhegotlice…sogoodluck though!^^

  • Continue tovacumn profusely indoors andtreat theoutdoors again 30 days afterthelast treatment. Theeggs andlarvae keep developing.

    Talk tothevet aboutpossibly giving benedryl fortheitching/allergy although itmaymakeherlethargic.

  • Youneed togethera very goodflea dip @ a groomers andthey(ifnotyourvet) cangive youa medication torub onthem. Orgeta very thick flea/oatmeal shampoo foryoudoggy. Goodluck.

  • Try Bag Balm ontheraw spots –It’s a medicated salve thatwillsooth thespots andhelpthemheal andit’s 100% safe ifthedog licks it. Youcangetitatmoststores likePetco/Petsmart oratfeed stores.
