re: Best method for getting rid of Fleas?

- Don't use a monthly flea treatment. The fleas build up a resistance over time. Use Frontline or Advantage (whichever one you haven't used recently) on the dog. Don't use another flea treatment unless they show up again, at which point you switch to the other brand. Alternate brands each time you see fleas. I almost never need to use them, but by alternative Advantage and Frontline and using them only when needed, I've been able to mostly avoid the problem and get rid of it quickly when it shows up.

Terrible advice in here. Fleas aren't building resistance to the stuff- just seems like that bc of poor compliance.

You come in with those adulticidal flea preventatives just once and you'll be seeing them come right back. Flea life cycle lasts weeks to months. Gotta stay on the preventative every month. Don't switch preventatives when you see the next generation hatch out after a month or three. You can help the process by using one of the topicals plus one of the oral ones too.
