re: Flea treatment for dogs?

Only stuff that works is what you get prescribed by vet and it's expensive

The topicals can be very good but it seems to be hit or miss by region. Those you can by OTA.

For a bad infestation I would get an oral like Credelio which will likely clear out the adult fleas on the dog in less than 48 hours. If the house infestation isn't bad they will jump on the dog and die also.




One thing to pay attention with topicals and orals is seizures, especially in dogs that have never had flea prevention. It is relatively rare but it does happen, the vet should mention it if you get an oral RX.
