I must confess I've been a member for some time now and I have helped other members that have had flea problems,but now I can't remember how to go to the threads about fleas. this is so annoying i still use the dawn which helps allot but as soon as she goes outside we're back to square one. I've also used the cinnamon water also which fleas hate, but i need more ideas

I hate putting any poisons on my dogs. Last summer after I read about different ones, I used the Revolutiion on my boys. It was fine and I had no reactions. I was very worried with some of that awful stuff that is out there. I flea combed them daily and really watched they did not romp in any grasses. I hope this helps.

Comfortis is the only thing that worked for Minnie, and it does pretty well for Cookie too. They're both larger yorkies though (Minnie was 11-12 lbs, Cookie is about 7.5-8.5 lbs or so). I don't think it's recommended for pups less than 5 lbs.
