Protect your pet with a monthly spot on topical or even an oral tablet for the best results. I do not have dogs but I love to feel their cuddly coat when you hug them. You probably love to do this too, which can cause flea transfer, so we have to get you the best flea medicine around. It is always best to concult your vet about the product that you decide to use because some of them depend on age. want you to make the best choice so I will give you as much information that I can about the products. Giving your dog baths regularly is also good.

Bio Spot SPOT ON topical is the best medicine that you can use to treat dog fleas and it also gets ticks too. It supplies the full flea and tick protection that your dog needs. It kills and repels adult fleas and ticks, and stops thedevelopment of immature fleas. Bio Spot rids your dog of insects withinone day and lasts one month.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Insecticide permethrin &methoprene IGR (Insect Growth Regulator).
K9 Advantix is also good if you only want to control fleas. Advantix is indicated for the treatment and prevention of adult fleason dogs and to reduce the incidence of flea allergy dermatitis. It willalso kill larval stages of fleas in the environment, which come intocontact with a treated dog. Advantix kills adult fleas rapidly andpersists for up to one month after treatment.

How to apply:
Step 1
The dog should be standing for easy application. Part the hair at your dog's shoulder blades to expose the skin.
Step 2
Apply product evenly and directly to the skin in three or four spotsalong the dog's back by squeezing out the tube's contents.(For dogs 20lbs. or less, apply on one spot.)
Step 3
Be sure to empty the entire tube by the end of the application. Your dog's natural movements will help spread K9 Advantix
Frontline Plus is also another option. It kills adult fleas just like Frontline, and contains an ingredient called methoprene,that kills flea eggs and larvae, to keep all stages of fleas fromdeveloping and bothering your pets and your family. Methoprene mimicsthe juvenile growth hormone of fleas, keeping the larvae from moltingand developing into more mature forms. Frontline Plus delivers total,effective flea prevention to your pet.
hope that this will help you because a healthy, happy dog is the best one that you can ever have and flease can be so itchy that getting rid of them is the best thing you can ever do for your dog other than shower them with love.
