I didnt know where else to place this in so i decided under diets and nutritions. I have a major flea issue in my house and I got a flea spray that i had got from my vet but it did not help the problem. the flea spray was front line. I would like to try the nutrition way and i heard that garlic will do the trick. how much should i give to my dog?

Hi Brittany,
I cant answer the garlic question although I do know it is a member of the onion family and you do have to be careful with the amount because it can be toxic in large amounts. As for your flea problem you may need to flea bomb your house first because unless you can get them out of the enviroment they will just keep infesting the dog and other pets you have. Of course to do this you will need to remove the pets while it is in action.
I have found that the spot-on treatment of Advantage works on my dog and I use the spot-on treatment of Frontline for the cats with great success.
But remember where the animals live must be treated too. I know how much of a pain they can be, we had an infestation one time when we had a hot dry summer but the bomb and keeping the pets treated eventually got rid of them.

I found spot Frontline to be very very effective as a preventative, when I fostered a kitty, that was full of flees I used the spay. I sprayed her and kenneled her fór an hour or two. The bottom of the cage was black with dead flees ( very disgusting)  , but not a living thing on her. But I did it before bringing her into the house. If the animal already has been in the house, as Jackie, said, you have to treat EVERYTHING. |
