Yes, flea dirt is excrement. If you put a bit on a wet paper towel, you will see it turn red (because of the blood in it.) That's how you can tell it isn't real dirt, but flea excrement. I use Frontline every 3 months as a preventative measure, and Bella has never had fleas.~Ashleighgwork
Exactly - good, glad to know I wasn't
mistaken all these years :)

HI Phaewryn,
My mom did have to do some digging around in her fur to find the flea
dirt. Mattie is a shih tzu with long, long hair. My dad checked
Mattie over and never found fleas. Very strange. I read just
yesterday that if we had gotten a sample of the flea dirt, we could
have put it
As long there is a dog in the home and it goes outside there will be fleas around.
If it isn't treated for fleas the fleas are going to jump on the kitty. Then you know for obvious reasons.
Us humans can carry fleas into our homes as well.
Especially when around a lot of sand and dirt.

Program, a pill that is a flea birth control hormone, seems to work well,
and I feel like it is safer than the chemical topical applications (not sure if
that is true or not). I don't use it with mine, but I don't use anything
for fleas at this point. If they get them, I would use that
I use program and so does my sister, although I use the liquid and
put it in their food. We have not had any problems. There is also an
injection also that some vets carry, I think it's suppose to last about
6 months, never tried it though.

True, but somehow it seems to control the flea populations sufficiently
that way so the fleas disappear. I am not sure why. I think maybe the adults, by
the time they bite, don't live much longer.

Hi Michelle,
Just reread your post and see that's what you said. I think a fleas
life span is only about 6 weeks.

I just wanted to let you know that I never use the full amount of

just use a dab of the stuff and only re-apply if I see a flea on
someone, (not just automatically every month). I do usually dose

One of our dogs has the tell-tale little black nits in the fur on
her neck that indicate fleas are incoming. We're going to treat her

Oh well. We just treated Ember. I decided to take the plunge, after
reading some things about the Frontline and Advantage on the web. It
actually ended up being Advantage that we have, so that's what Ember
got a dose of. Hopefully this will give her protection while we sort
out whether or
