Pretty much all shampoos and the water will kill the fleas on the animal. However, it won't kill the eggs, nor keep the fleas from coming back. Sheila "Life is what happens when you are busy making plans."

I have had the same problem as well here in Oklahoma. Just on Sat. this weekend I gave my boston terrior a bath and just used some regular 'hair shampoo' I had handy and would you believe it killed his flees. I bet there were 20 flees dead in the bath tub. I do not normally wash him with my shampoo, but I was in a hurry and he was really "smelly". He has had no problems with having 'dry skin' because of this bath, but I was just in shock to see that it killed the flees like it did. Good luck.

I'm hoping the weather here will get colder so I won't have this problem next year. What I've been doing that has been helping is bathing him every week. I started out with Dawn dish saop which really washes the fleas away. Then I switched to plain dog shampoo with conditioner so it wouldn't dry his skin out too much. On top of that I bought a flea spray at the feed store to spray his bedding and living area after the bath each week. I also spray around our furniture since he lays on it. I used Frontline a month ago and all it seemed to do was keep the fleas away from his head. They all migrated to his bottom area which was so bad for him. He had all these little red bites down there especially his scrotum. I'm trying a new flea medication this month to see if it works better. It's an off brand but I'm hoping it works better. I seen at Walmart an all natural flea medicine made by Sergents called Nature's Secret or something like that. Has anyone heard of it working? If so I might try that nexr month if this doesn't work. Sorry to be so long.
