There are so many products out there to use for getting rid of fleas. It is best to check with your favorite Vet and see what they recommend for the area that you live in.

Fleas are such a nuisance. Especially in hot weather and we get a lot of that here. I think that large dogs suffer the most because with small ones you could easily get one of those collars or use spray or something.

With big dogs, you practically don’t know from where to start!

I use Avocet a multi parasite control, as mentioned there are several available. I have used Strong Hold in the past. Both are expensive however both do provide wide range protection. I have a calander alert on my mobile to remind me when it is time. Dont skimp ask your vet for the best brand he has to offer.

Uggg…fleas. They are so persistent. Especially in the warmer climates where the eggs don’t freeze. For those fighting the flea population, make sure to clean the dog bed and their fluffy toys.

From what I have heard, Comfortis is a great product. In a study by the manufacturer, they showed a 99.9% reduction in fleas on the pet within 2 months.

Glad to hear you are flea free

We used to use Advantage but the vet switched us to Comfortis. I am happy to report that the flea problems are gone!

What kind of monthly tablet are you taking? Is it an insect growth regulator like program or sentinel? If it is, sounds like your owners might need to up the ante and get something that kills adult fleas like frontline or advantage. .-= Simon´s last blog ..5 Common Flea control mistakes that will cost you =-.
