Guest jt750 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 You could try feeding garlic pills to the dog. Apparantly fleas don't like the taste of garlic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hannah4181 260 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Frontline spray, since i've been using it for the last 5 years or so, i've never once found any trace of fleas on either the dogs or the cats. Brilliant stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurchers 2,884 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 go to the pet shop and ask for duramitex ive used it for over 20yr and it works brillient.its only £5.50 a bottle and will last you a few years but smells like cats pee when you use it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I use Frontline and have never had a Problem. After digs you see the Fleas crawling and jumping off them, and any ticks I've found a few days after go white and are usually dead by the time I remove them. If you have got fleas and your dog is in doors then make sure you give the area they sleep in a good spraying with a Flea spray as they spend most of their time in bedding and in any nooks and crannies by where the dog spends most of its time and will only jump onto the dog for a quick feed. I've also heard about feeding the dog garlic, is this true? Sounds like an old wives tail to me, but it's always best to ask I suppose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest hornman Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 garlic is true it works well once its been fed for a while it gets in the skin and fleas dont like it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
