Answer
Hello Vicky - One of the ways to get rid of fleas is to make your dog's blood taste too healthy... Fleas don't like a dog with a good immune system and Healthy tasting blood.
First off, you need the liquid, from the vet, the Once per month treatment..... Make sure you are using something from the vet for this.

Next, Wash your baby in DAWN dishwater soap - ONLY when you see many fleas on your little one.  Fill the tub and use a small amount of Dawn - It will kill the fleas..
Next, Make sure you use a Good Tea Tree OIL Doggie Shampoo at least every week or every two weeks. Tea Tree oil heals and is very soothing to your little one.

Next - Place your baby on NuVET Plus - This is the Ultimate Immune System Blaster - KNOCK her system into health-- The fleas jump off of dogs that have healthy tasting BLOOD.  NuVET helps your pet to fight off the fleas and anything else that wants to hit them.
I know it sounds odd - about the blood taste - But it is true..
Fleas jump on the dog ,and taste the blood, then: say " Good bye" and jump right off of a healthy dog.
Here is the NuVET info-

Not sold in pet stores - must buy thru the maufacurer.  ONLY about .50 cents per day.....( they sell a powder or a wafer)


Also, Make sure you baby is eating a good quality and Holistic kibble- Innova, Wellness, Solid gold are a few good ones...
If you need help with foods, let me know.


BEST wishes to you...
