RE: Dog Fleas

Posted 268 days ago

I had the same problem with our kitten.It was so full of fleas I tried everything, and nothing worked. spent so much money.Then I washed the kitten ,he wasnt very happy but he is white and good thing I did because half the fleas washed down the sink and the rest I squashed between my thumbs. When they get wet they seem to go into coma for about 15 minutes . Gave me a chance to get most of them, when he was wet. So every now and then I just look through him and if I see one I squish it. Even flea powder doesnt work. We dont even know what they are putting in these products , we spend so much money and they could be just putting a bit of smelly water in them and it does nothing.
Good luck

Fill up the tub and put the dogs into it (seperate baths)
make so only their head can come out of the water, that way you can drown all of the fleas, dont use front line by the way, its useless. Try advantage.
Do a google image search for "Canine Advantage"

A natural, cheap and easy way is tea-tree oil. Get some soluable stuff from the supermarket - (Eulactol makes it)
Put about a lid ful into 500 ml water and spray/wipe on.
If this isnt stron enough, you can put a bit more oil into the water.
Its also good for deterring Ticks, mozzies and other biting insects.

Alternately some dog shampoos have tea-tree oil in them.
