re: Flea treatment for dogs?

Give them a bath with Dawn dish detergent. It’s extremely mild and kills fleas. Basically I would give them two baths with it back to back. Make sure they’re completely coated between their paws, between the pads on their feet, everywhere. Start at the head and work your way down. Rinse repeat.

A friend of ours rescued a cat and brought it to the vet. That’s what the vet used as the initial treatment. It’s very mild on the skin, unlike most flea soaps.

My yellow lab must’ve stepped on a pile of them or something in the woods, even though she’s on the treatment. She started it scratching, so I did this to her and could literally see the fleas dead on her surface coat as I’m washing her.
