Be careful of some of the over the counter stuff it can be dangerous as well. Get a comb, as well. Have two dogs currently.One is 10, and got fleas for the first time in his life, down in the keys for Christmas. Felt sorry for the poor guy. It was a royal pain in the arse for over a month.
Shame on you. All you need is Comfortis or trifexis and, as far as the dog, it's over in an hour.

Now the yard, kennel, etc. That needs to be hit and then again in a week or so unless what you spray gets eggs too.

I even used some diatamacious (sp?) earth.

Well two weeks were in the middle of the keys, far away from his vet and not really an ideal place to find stuff at a store. We became totally infested and advantix when we got back didn't rectify the situation immediately. Like I said, never had fleas ever. So not familiar with protocols. Vet informed me about dangers of of over the counter solutions. We were still finding fleas in my pups long hair a month after initial contact, which was two week before we could get a decent solution.
