flees

Question
Thanks for volunteering.  I have two large dogs and two cats.... all indoor pets.  Unfourtunately they all have flees!  We tried a treatment from Wal-Mart where you apply it to the back of their necks in order to make the blood toxic to flees....it did not work.  What brands, or treatment to you reccommend.  We would like to have an inexpensive, but complete remidy.  Thanks for your time.

Answer
With all of them having fleas I recommend the route you went. However, you may have to buy something a little better then something at Walmart. I used Advantix and had really good luck with it. You can buy it online, or probably at your vets office..although usually cheaper online. Don't even attempt controlling it with flea shampoo..too many animals, you will never get it under control. Good luck!
