We own a 1yr old chihuahua named Lovebug. I wanted to find a grp experienced
with chihuahua's to ask about treating for fleas. Weve never had a flea
problem and what we are doing isnt really helping! We have had Bug on
Frontline Plus but its not working! And now we have fleas all over the house!
I vaccum at least 3 times daily and empty the canister into a bag and place it
in the garbage out in the garage (so if they get out they cant get back in the
house) We have treated our yard and everytime he goes outside he gets more
fleas UGH I really dont care to use the Frontline anymore as he is having
reactions to it! He now is getting bald patches where the treatment is
applied. We have tried flea baths, powders and spray and powder treatments in
the house and still no luck in getting rid of the little boogers! They used to
spray our town every Sunday for Fleas/Mosquitos but stopped this year due to
exspences of the chemicals but from what I understand they will be doing it
again starting next year because of so many complaints to the city and also to
the only vet in town about how many homes are now flea infested!
Any advice? We live in a small town in Iowa and only have 1 small vet clinic
which only carries Frontline Plus. I refuse to keep spending $15 a month on
flea treatment that is not doing anything! If it was helping kill the cycle of
them we wouldnt have such a problem in the house with fleas!
