But the dawn dish soap will not kill the flea eggs. Fleas lay eggs by the zillions (so it seems) Tea tree oil never worked for us. Also bathing a dog that much will dry out its skin and if the dog already has allergy problems that will only make them worse. All soap and water kills the fleas but it is only a temporary solution. Sometimes you do have to resort to the toxic methods for toxic pest.

If you're not familiar with tea tree oil, you will be amazed by it. You should be able to get it at a pharmacy or health food store. Bathe your chi with Dawn dish soap. Leave him lathered up for 5 or 10 minutes before rinsing. I keep rubbing and lathering to keep them warm while waiting. The Dawn does just as good a job as any flea shampoo and not toxic. It's really the lather that kills them or drowns them and keeps them from jumping away. Use a flea comb to pick them off while he is lathered up and again about 10 minutes after he is dry just to get the last of them. It's a terrible battle and we've all been there so I sympathize with you.

I feel so bad for my poor chi.Even tho I treated him with frontline plus 2 wks ago(I found out from a friend who works at a Vets office that you shouldnt treat your dog right after a bath because the dog needs the oil in his coat in order for the frontline to distribute properly)there was my first mistake.So my second mistake was that i treated him again with frontline 3 days ago,which i later found out could be toxic.Well he still has fleas on him!!!I am going to use foggers tommorow and take him to a friends so he will be safe.My question is????What do i do for my dog to rid him of fleas?? I am washing all my clothes and bedding and will be vaccuming and properly disposing of the filter.Please any help or advice will be gladly accepted.On top of it I am bit all over my legs and am itching like crazy!!!
