Thanks for the info. I previously had a cairen terrier ( Duncan) for 15 years and there is still things to learn. I have found fleas on her and bathed her with the flea, tick oatmeal shampoo. I also have a cat ( zip, aka fat cat ) that I have to bath also. I am giving Missy the Iams puppy food ( suggested by vet because she was so skinny ) what is the best flea spray / add on to use. What about the "natural" flea killers ? Thanks Sandy
