She has pretty bad allergies but it just seems to be getting worse. I have oatmeal shampoo for her I haven’t noticed if it makes her not itch so much and I’m worried about bathing her too often as I heard it dries their skin. I gave her a bath about three weeks ago would it be safe to wash her again?

We use Advantage Flea Control, and we have done treatment inside the house, there are no fleas, but here is is November, and my poor dog is still itching and scratching and chewing himself silly. Every so often I can feel bumps on his skin under his coat, but not there are no scabs. He has always been an itchy dog, but it has always been seasonal. I know to use Oatmeal Shampoo, and to give him raw eggs/veggie oil in his food, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Aside from taking him to get allergy testing ($$$) anything else you’d recommend? Thanks

My little dog Tiara is in a lot of agony. She is allergic to flea saliva. I’ve taken her to the vet recently to get an allergy shot which usually helps. However, this time it didn’t. The vet says she should have a shot about every 3 months. Well, she had one like a month ago. I don’t know what to do. I don’t have any money to get any flea shampoo. (I wouldn’t want to use those harsh chemicals on her anyway.) Is there ANYTHING around the house I can use to get rid of the fleas? Thank you for your answers.

I gave my cat and dog sentenal for 4 years, There last pill was given Nov 1. They have been scratching for 2 months and the vet said they had allergies. On Sunday I discovered my dog has a tapeworm that you can only get from fleas. Two hundred dollars later they are both on deworming medicine and advantage to fight fleas. Although I don’t see any fleas, and no one is being bit by the fleas accept the pets, I know my home is infested because both pets have them. What are some of the best methods for getting rid of fleas in my carpets and beds and sofas . Do I need to worry about solid surfaces and how do I know when the are gone? I don’t want my pets infested again. What was the point in giving them the sentenal I wonder?

My son has been severely bitten by fleas. I know it’s my fault because the dog showed signs long ago and i did nothing. I thought it was just his normal allergies because he scratches all the time anyway from allergies i already treat him for. I can’t afford a professionl job done so i have to work hard and do it myself. I have heard of the boric acid and the 20 mule borax. Do anyone know if this really wks. The flea powder u buy in the store definitely does not wk. I need help fast. Can anyone give me any suggestions.
