HELP !!! My dog has a problem with Fleas.?

She is allergic to the Flea collars and I have used all natural sprays and solutions and she is allergic to those also. Her hair and skin is now discolored and she is losing the hair on her back from scrathing. If anyone has any real ideas please respond. Thank you so much.

YOU REALLY NEED TO TAKE IT TO THE VET.
Reply:Flea collars are no good. Your best bet is to take to vet. Otherwise look at getting your dog onto Frontline Plus. Also, in case you don't know this one, pet insurance is the best solution to helping your dog. I use VPI Petinsurance. VPI covers the costs of Heartguard and Frontline, 100%. You can purchase Frontline cheaper through 1800petmeds.com, rather than going to a local pet store like petco.
Reply:Have you had the vet check her out myfriend had similar problems with her dog and found she was actually allergic to the fleas
Reply:Your poor puppy! Perhaps you should take her to your vet, if nothing is working. They should be able to prescribe something or suggest what you can do. You may have to clear up her skin problems first before trying anything else. Have you tryed pills?Obviously they are not topical so they shouldn't hurt her skin. I use advantage and I have never had a problem, my dog has sensitive skin. Good luck
Reply:There are enough chemicals in her world already, more isn't going to help her. Have you tried flea treats? They are all natural, and they repel fleas. Works great. I've been using them for a few years and now have my mother switched to them for her dogs as well. A friend of mine from Cali has been using them for years with great success.





Dogs love them as they are liver flavored. Somehow the flea treats repel the fleas naturally so you dog doesn't pick them up in the first place. http://www.fleatreat.com Check it out.
Reply:Okay. Try Palmolive REGULAR soap not diluted. Bathe your dog in this. It will kill a lot of the fleas on your dog.. make sure you scrub and scrub everywhere. Gotta get the eggs too!! If you have carpet, have it steam cleaned. You cant get rid of fleas completely unless you eliminate them from EVERYWHERE!!





Good Luck!
Reply:it can be food allergy some dogs have skin problems from certain proteins mine did and I changed food. I keep mine on fronline plus and always use medicated shampoo it does the trick
Reply:Try treating her enviroment for fleas, my dogs suffer from fleas as the bloody roo's keep bringing them into the yard, then the dogs chase the bloody roo's cant win.
Reply:Use KP-24 medicated foam to kill the fleas on contact. You can also use ADVANTAGE on her neck every two weeks to stop them from coming back but they will probably never fully go away cause my dog had fleas as well but that seems to work as long as you keep bathing and giving her advantage. Good Luck Anyway. PS: please do allergy tests before using anything, i don't want her to get a skin allergy form my idea
Reply:vet
Reply:You should probably take her to the vet. Ask your vet if flea treats could work.





My cousin used salt as a natural flea repelent. It prevents fleas from nesting in the carpet, however it doesn't prevent the eggs from hatching.
Reply:frontline works great
Reply:First off you need to spray your yard because you can put flea collars on or even give her shots but if you have them in your yard you will never get rid of them . Spray yard and give her advantage treatments vets also have flea shots now since she is allergic to a lot of them shot might be the best . But spray yard so other will not jump on her . Works for my 4 Schnauzers flea free. good luck
