hehe.

The eternal struggle. My parents showered their dog every few days to get rid of them (using flea shampoo). They also gave him tablets which were very good. Having said that, if you get them in the carpets they can be a pain to get rid of. Good Luck!

To be honest , they go off into the 'campo' enjoying themselves and come back with lots of little critters.

Freedom or critters! Critters for me :eek:

I have sheep, the dog is around them everyday, and she picks up any number of bugs, including fox fleas.....we have never managed to keep on top of the flea situation, but since Jan it has been kept in check with it.

Thanks. I have a Beagle, Spanish people want to buy him, they dont know he cant smell a sheep or a fox in 2 foot! Laziest beagle in the EEC!

But the little fleas still like him.

Ticks... I have months checking them out! But fleas are too fast for me.
:huh:

I was mistaken, the stuff we use is Advocate, and it does almost everything.
