I have 2 dogs, an american bulldog and a cocker spaniel. We were using the cheap flea stuff from walmart, and sure enough they got fleas! So we decided not to be cheap anymore and get them on front line, before the front line we immediately used the flea dip from the vet, I can’t remember the name of the medicine, but it was in a white bottle with green writing. And after that we got them on front line plus.
its been a week, and every time i comb them I still see little fleas jumping around on them and found a few in the bed! I thought the front line and the dip was supposed to kill the fleas, now I don’t know what to do. I want to go get some carpet spray tonight and some good flea dip for the animals. I am also planning on washing all the sheets and blankets.
my mother also have me an idea to tie all ll my sons stuffed animals and the pillows in a trash bag and tie it so they suffocate. is there anyone out there with a recommendation on what to use to rid my poor dogs and my house of these nasty little things.
Ps i am very disappointed with Frontline Plus right now.

I use advantix and ever since i’ve used it, my dog didn’t have any fleas. Sometimes I will forget to put it on him (monthly) but he still doesn’t get fleas.

the best flea/tick repellent is Advantix not Avantage. and i would sprinkle garlic powder around the perimeter of your house. and also give them brewers yeast tablets every day it works wonders on keeping fleas off your pets.hope this helps!
