Fleas are rampant this year! Any suggestions on how to keep them at bay?
Practically every dog that I sit nowadays has fleas (I am a travel sitter, not at-home), and so do all of mine. We've used Frontline Plus, flea shampoos, garden sprays, contact sprays, sulfur in the yard, diatomaceous earth -- nothing seems to get rid of them!
I hear that fleas have been a problem for a lot of folks this year, especially in my area of Dallas/Fort Worth. They've developed immunities to most of the flea products you can buy so I'm wondering if anyone has had success with any that I haven't heard of. It would be nice to be able to share this information with clients and even offer to try and help fight the flea infestation.
For most dogs it's just an inconvenience having a few fleas, but my littlest dog has sensitive skin and ends up with huge welts and open sores from scratching. We've been doing the best we can to treat it but when we finally get one spot healed another one pops up somewhere else. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated!!
Hi, I'm from the Houston area and I know all too well what you're dealing with. My vet recommended Bravecto and K9 Advantix II and they have been the best products that I've used down here so far. They been a lifesaver! Hope it works!
Thank you, I'll try those! :)
