You need a Leo to dispose of flies.
I told her this,but she was tanked up (as usual) so it didn't sink in.She's right though, but the 'frontline' kills them in 24 hours anyway.
PS you can get frontline and advantage much cheaper on-line - it's over £20 for 4 vials at the VET or about £9 on line.
I spoke too soon! I've just checked. The fleas are all over his belly still. It'll be 24 hours since application at about 3 o clock. If they aren't gone or fading out by this evening i'll start to worry. I don't think you can apply more such stuff once they've had their dose. Maybe flea prevention shampoo would help. Any ideas?PS If the fleas jump on him now, they will be killed off.
I checked him at 4pm and touchwood the only fleas i saw were tiny ones,which i presume are newly hatched ones which haven't bitten him and taken the 'poison' yet. So hopefully the stuff i put on him is beginning to work.I spoke too soon! I've just checked. The fleas are all over his belly still. It'll be 24 hours since application at about 3 o clock.

Hideous things!Fleas need burning with fire (or flea ointment). They lay eggs in your carpet which can remain dormant for years, so it's worth keeping the dog topped up, especially in summer. We have 4 cats but don't flea every month, and not in winter as 3 are indoor, and the outdoor cat is old and doesn't chase anything (think Garfield). Many years ago we had fleas in the carpet in one corner of the room, just so happened to be where the PC was - bitten ankles ! Took an age to kill them, and they are near on impossible to squish between fingers.
