K9 Advantix Treatment
what do i need to do to get rid of fleas on my dog?
My dog is bichon frise and he gets fleas really bad!!! I've tried it all, Frontline, K9 advantix,Capstar, Shampoos And brewers yeast. He stays infested I have no problem killing the fleas just keeping them off. None of my other animals have them. I've even had the yard& house proffesionally treated more than once. I know my other animals don't have them because I check dailly. I even use shampoo that is not supposed to wash off my flea treatments. Something about this dog just attracts them, he is covered in sores from digging and scatching. I've been to 4 different vets. they just keep telling me to treat his enviroment. I have!!! and you don't see other people who take their dogs with them everywhere they go have this problem and you know they are not always in a flea free area. I thought they were supposed to repel also . PLEASE HELP I'M DESPERATE!!!!!!!
First let me tell you that I own a pest control company and what I will recommend is the complete treatment that should help you completely get rid of the fleas. You mentioned that your Bichon is the only dog that has fleas. Fleas are attracted to lights, and light colors. If your other animals are dark colors, it would explain why the fleas are drawn to this one.
First, treat the pet with Capstar. This is a pill that you get from the vet that will kill all of the fleas that get on the animal for the first 24 hours. Second, use either Frontline or Advantage, these can also be purchased from the vet. Frontline can be used on pets 12 weeks old or older. Advantage can be used on animals as young as 6 weeks. If the pet is old enough for either product, switch back and forth between the two. One month use one, the next use the other. The reason I recommend this is that there are two main types of fleas that infest pets. One product works better on the first type and the other product works better on the second type. By using both, you make sure you have covered all your bases.
Once the pet has been treated, you must treat your home and yard. The best products to do this would include not only a killing agent, but also a sterilization agent. Inside, I would use Ultracide, if you can get it. (Many on line sites sell it.) Follow the instructions on the label Wash all animal’s bedding and vacuum frequently. I WOULD NOT put any chemical in the vacuum bag or catch container, other than a flea collar. It is too dangerous to risk the vacuum accidentally spreading that chemical through the air. Throw out the vacuum bag or dump the catch container after every vacuuming. You can never vacuum too much!!! DO NOT STEAM CLEAN YOUR RUGS This can hatch flea eggs and make your problem worse.
Outside I would use Demon WP mixed with Gentrol or Nylar, carefully following label instructions. Treat the entire yard, paying special attention to under bushes and low hanging branches. Most of these products can be bought at any Do-It-Yourself Pest Control company either on line or in a store.
Treating your house and yard is just as important as treating the pet. This all must be done at the same time for it to be the most effective. (At the very least, the same day.)
It is also very important to stay away from the grocery store or box store products like Zodiac or Hartz. Many of these products can cause severe allergic reactions in animals.
