Hi Gloria, I hope it will help! I wish I had some advice for you - but when my parents went through this, their dog was an adult, so they were able to just use the Advantage right away. They lived in CA at the time. In the area of AZ we live in, there aren't any fleas ... so we don't have any problems with them. I do know that when they had a flea problem (and after it was gone), that my dad, who did landscaping would change clothes in the garage to avoid brining any fleas into the house on his clothes. They would put the dirty clothes in a plastic bag and carry them straight to the washer and run them. I guess many of the hills in CA are infested with fleas. Shell

Thanks, Shell. Cesar has lost a lot of his soft and long hair. The breeder (who hasn't seen him) thinks, from what I've told her, that he's going into his "summer coat". The vet thinks it might be an allergic reaction to fleas. He changed his flea medication and on the 14th. I will start him on Advantage (the treatment they gave him last month, was Revolution, plus a "captstar" last week). Still finding a flea or two on him everyday. I treated the yard with nematodes but I don't think it helped. So for now, I am not letting Cesar go outside, until its treated by a company that uses organic type stuff (I am also having the inside done).
