What to do if a dog has fleas?

If you want an inexpensive way to shampoo your animal the best thing to use is dawn dish soap. It doesn't hurt the animal but kills the fleas pretty fast. The spray is good but only lasts until the dog cleans it off. The best thing for the fleas is at the vet. They have a new pill that works great but is a little pricy. Also you can try putting garlic powder or yeast in the dogs food, although the dogs breath might be a bit smelly lol. The fleas don't like the smell and deters them from the dogs skin.

First a bath, then you have the choice of a flea spray which the dog wont like, or a flea collar that takes a while to work.

You can buy a shampoo for a dog that gets rid of the fleas and just to ensure that they are gone, you should also treat the dog with either flea treatment from a vets, like drop things that go on the back of the dogs neck, or the spray that you can get.Also at the same time as treating for the fleas, you should treat the dogs for worms.

I would suggest you get a good flea control that you apply on your dogs back or back of neck. The cheap stuff does not work well, ask a vet for their opinion as which one to use. Use this after you have given the dog a bath. Don't use flea collars as some dogs are allergic to them. The reaction can be deadly.
