I am having a really bad flea proublem, its so hard to go threw all of sunny's hair with a flea comb but i usually end up having to do that. I will have to try some of this other stuff you guys mentioned becuase the fleas are just awful here, at least we havnt been having tick proublems those things gross me out so much.

We have flea probs too...I have JUST about kicked it over the winter...and they will be back again in a few weeks!
Here are my suggestions!
1) Get a couple Capstar tablets from the vet-it kills the fleas on the body within a few minutes
2) A good flea/tick bath and wash all bedding/blankets etc...
3) Advantage or Frontline (advantage worked better for me)
4) Have the pest control people come and spray down the house REALLY good for fleas!
5) Follow their directions to vacuum the carpet...throw out the vacuum bag and put a flea/tick collar in the new bag.
6) Don't bathe as often, as LadyM told me that Advantage is more succeptible to being washed off than Frontline is
7) Repeat all steps until the problem is gone
They are tricky little suckers! I just thought I had them licked and the other day I found ONE flea on Brink....but when I gave him a bath the same day, there were no more on him. I just don't get it! They are evidently still hanging out SOMEWHERE! ugh! But, doing all this has definetely helped !!!! I DREAD spring and summer for this very reason!

I never had flea proublems with past dogs, but this if the first dog i have had at this house, so its just getting really frustration. Expecially because i always and hugging sunny and having him on the couch and stuff with me lol. Right now he is flea free but i dont know how long its gonna last, the vet told me i could put the frontline on him as often as ever 2 weeks so i have been putting it on ever 3 weeks but it just dosnt seem to effect them at all. I am thinking its my cat that brings them into the house becuase she is indoor out door and we dont use flea stuff on her becuase she will scratch the heck out of you if you even try something like that.
