Poor puppy. Give her lots of pats & affection - she'll come round and realize the bath was for her own good.

Our vet recommended Comfortis, a pill you give them with food once a month for flea control. We've just started it a few days ago and already notice less scratching.

You have to be careful with the front line ,if you read the fine print the dog can not have a bath 3 days before or after the application. I used frontline for years didn't seem to help my hound much. I swiched to comfortis ,it is wonderful for the hound but the bulldog throws it up :(
I started today adding cider vinegar to the water, they drank it fine, I read it somewhere that it works, I sure hope so .

This is the original blue Dawn.
this is what we use also. you can also put it in a spray bottle, 1/4 dawn to water and spray your floors and furniture. it also kills roaches. love dawn it is also good for removing stains including blood.

I'm a cat lady but I have found that Advantage Flea control is wonderfulllll!! It kills fleas on the animal & U see no more in the house. It can be found online a lot cheaper than buying in pet store.
Hope this helps....

You may need to treat the house and the yard to eliminate the source.

My dog throws up from frontline also. Plus when you bath him he can't be treated for two or three days after having a bath. I just purchased the line that Wal Mart carries. Its cheaper so they say we shall see if it works.

Wonder if this has to be with food or can you put it down their throat before they eat? Like a wormer tab......
