What's the best treatment for dog fleas? Shampoo, drops, spray or comb?

Can you get injections for dog fleas?What's the best treatment for dog fleas? Shampoo, drops, spray or comb?
Frontline is the only type of flea treatment that works for my dogs and cats. I have two pets with flea allergies (one of my dogs and one of my cats) so not treating fleas is a non-option. I have tried natural treatment with zero success. Frontline has always been consistent and highly affective.What's the best treatment for dog fleas? Shampoo, drops, spray or comb?
the best treatment for dog fleas would probably be canineadvantage spray, canine advantage shampoo,and combing doesnt really get the fleas out. and 80% of the time drops dont work. try it.
frontline its great also treat the house your vet will have some spray for the house its costly put you dont want the cycle to continue
the tablets are better but frontline from the vets is the best
drops and get them from your vet not at the store
Get some drops from the vets more expensive than the pet shop but they do work.
funny you should ask....i went to the vet last week and they told me that they could give my pup a flea jab,but it would cost 拢350 !!!
Once you have got rid of the initial infestation, frontline is the most popular, give it garlic pearls in its food good for the heart and once in the blood fleas hate it and move on.
Advantage works beautifully. It is somewhat expensive, but works like a charm. See your vet or go to 1800petmeds.com
Just to reinforce - Frontline - no need for injections, shampoos - just squidge it on the back of your dog's neck .. available from any decent vet ..
Yeah you can get injections. My dog has to get injections because of his sensitive skin. But if you want a cheap, non-chemical way to get rid of the fleas, Olive oil works. Just pour it on your dog and comb through his/her fur with a lice comb. It works wonders.
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.





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鈥檚 bedding and vacuum frequently. 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!





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.
It is a two step process. To get rid of the fleas currently on your dog, use a good flea shampoo. Then take him to the vet and he will give you a pill that will kill any fleas or eggs that were left behind. You can then put him on a once a month preventive flea medicine. I prefer Frontline. This should take care of it. Be sure to wash all dog bedding in hot water as well.
Frontline
Do all that you mentioned... Shampoo and make sure you use frontline in the future
What's best is a combination of what you've mentioned. Bathe the dog in a non-insecticidal shampoo, leaving the shampoo on the dog for 5 minutes before rinsing. This will kill the majority of the fleas. While the dog is in the tub marinating in the shampoo, have someone be treating the carpet and sleeping areas with a powder or spray. Dry your dog and then comb out any little critters that might be left. Then apply the drops suggested by your vet. I personally prefer Frontline. Most drops require that you wait a few days to apply them after bathing so the dog's natural coat oils will make them spread effectively.





Never heard of injections.
Id recommend drops. But you have to keep the treatment up ,every 5/6 wks
the best thing for fleas is garlic my grandma told me about it at first i thought she was nuts but it turned out it worked. try it it might work for you too.let me know
I find the best treatment is to combine all these things.


First, flea shampoo thoroughly. Then spray the areas your pet goes in - washing all bedding etc. If the floor is carpeted you will need to spray the whole floor.


Then the next day, spray your pet to kill off any remaining fleas.


Then keep using drops and spray until you have no sign of more fleas.
i think drops!








good luck!
Drops are best. I've had no good luck with drops lasting a long time though. But shampoos are pointless without the drops since the fleas will still live in your carpet/furniture. With flea drops, its absorbed into the skin and the fleas stay away therefore moving onto their next victim.
Frtontline, advantage or revolution. These are topical treatments (meaning they are applied to the skin) that need to be applied once a month.


They really work.
flea dip is the BEST treatment..the vet can prob do it and then make sure you keep him/her on frontline and NOT a flea coller..they dont work :) hope that helps some..OH and you need to bug bomb your house too a couple of times because they will live and bite you and get on everything..they live a VERY long time
Shampoo for sure. my dog had fleas and we washed him in this flea shampoo for 3 days in a row and his fleas were immediately gone. they work for a pretty long time but every once in a while we have to wash him again
