My Aunt allows a stray cat into her home regularly which repeatedly infects her dog (King Charles) with fleas. My Aunt likes to travel, and leaves her King Charles with my Grandmother for a few weeks [...]

Family fleas out of control?
little black hard shelled bugs on my dog and they fall onto our bed and surrounding areas in large amounts?

What's that new flea & tick medicine for dogs that they eat?
It’s a squishy edible square (just like heartguard) that vets are prescribing instead of frontline sometimes now. Allegedly its more effective. Anyone know what its called? I cant find it on google. Sprays and shampoos only work if your dog already has fleas, they dont prevent anything.
Can I put a flea collar on my cat while she is in the middle of Frontline treatment?
I noticed that two weeks after a Frontline treatment, the fleas seem to make a reappearance. I don’t want to give a premature dosage of Frontline because I’m afraid it will irritate her. Is a flea collar a bad idea for that same reason?

When I’m house sitting for you, would it be weird if my dog slept in your bed with me?
He’s a nice dog and will be in your house anyway. Your floor is kind of cold and he would be lonely in the guest bed. He does not have fleas or rabies or anything.
