...Not going to do anything for the eggs already laid in your house.

If the fleas can't get on the dog, what host do you think they are going to go for next???

 

Keya.?

 

In that event - I will have alcoholic fleas, oh well...

~Perhaps they will become stupider and/or more careless


On a more serious note - they are fewer all the time, and will eventually become extinct in the immediate vicinity, which is what was wanted. The "VACUUM MONSTER" is eating them up, and not giving any back!
* I dump them in a field a hundred yards from my home, which is where they came from to begin with.

Now all of the jokes are going to start - I can see that already. Fortunately I'm in a very good mood regarding the outcome of all of this.

 

I'm sure your dogs are much happier too!

 

Sooo true! I gave Smokie the Advantix about three weeks ago now and he'll occasionally scratch himself behind the ears but nothing major. Luckily I never saw a flea on him, but he did immediately pick up ticks which prompted me to get some Advantix. And I'd know for sure instantly if he got fleas since his signature move is to run right up to me and flop on his back for "belly-scratchies." It's pretty funny to see him run full bore across the lawn and do a barrel role starting about ten feet away and slide right up to my feet on his back!

Here's Smokie and the Bandit.

 

Andy, did you pick up a second Blue Heeler?

Nope. Bandit is my friend's dog. He was the inspiration for me to get one.

 

Both of my Fuzzy Kiddo's are inside destroying fleas - I need to watch them so that Woola doesn't pee on the carpets

Life is like that - there is always a downside....

Woola is GREADY!

I let Rufuss and Woola in, and Woola stole Rufusses rawhide bone - even though I gave them one each...

(I took it back, and returned it to Rufie)

 

Grey Wolf had to tell a little story for the nite, My Grandsons Dog A bull Mastif Black with white chest, got it as a lil Pup now freggen huhgge, Tango with the Horses, they think its one of there own , my Filly more than Playfull and only halter Broke goes for the dog/ and in return lays down when Bruti returns fire to play back. Funny thing is I think she thinks this dog is her Mate DAM what, I need to get you guys a vid of this happening you wont belive your eyes Crazy .That's Trust Yea.

 

Animals do that at times. My white BC, Spike, adopted a litter of kittens as his own. He would lay across the doorway into their room, and guard them. I'd ask him if he'd like to see the kittens, and he'd jump and walk in with me. I don't know if any of you can follow this, but he'd stand at attention until I told him it's alright. He'd then nose each one as if counting them, then lay down next to the basket they were in, and curl himself up around it.

 

ALL animals are careful of the young - except predators that come after them.

It's interesting when one kind volunteers to care for a completely different kind tho....

 

well....the fleas finally got in my dogs world.....was wondering if anyone has used adams flea and tik spot on........ thanks

 

get him with dawn at sundown, sounds like a western. lol use dawn dish soap but don't get his eyes, vaccume indoors and treat dog area and carpet for eggs.

 

I get this ? A lot, and I am sure most of the answers help, most of the time. What I have been told, by a former pro show-dog owner, is that you do not wet the dog first..... Apply most any soap, work it in, add water to work it in, and let it stand for 10 mins. The rinse the animal off. Next: you ca buy flea bombs to put in most rooms in your home, vacate for a couple hours. Next: wash all the bedding where the animal sleeps. AND: take care of the yard area and garage, the latter can be done with a spray bomb just as in the house.

Lastly, there are monthly pills, or meds that you drag down their back, most of which will handle ticks and fleas. Most BC's bathed about every 6 weeks, though it depends on areas and the nose of the owner.....some are more sensitive to dog odors than others.

I am a mobile dog groomer, and always willing to listen, learn & share.
