Question
I recently am the proud owner of 2 teacup poodles,there about 6months old now. They have been scathing alot lately and i have but some flee medicine on them but i dont think its helping and they are starting to have little spots where they bit to much....what is good to get rid of flees??? also another question they have very dry skin as well what can i do to get rid of dry skin.

Answer
Feed a decent chow and as little else as possible, seldom if ever bathe the dog, and brush it daily with a soft bristled brush. You might add a teaspoon a day of liquid cooking oil to its food.

The vets have a wide range of safe, effective flea remedies.  I would talk to your vet about which one would be best for you.  The OTC Frontline is supposed to be good too.
