https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/The-Dreaded-FLEAS/m-p/133889#M56756 <P>Hi Everyone, </P> <P>I recently posted about my dog having skin allergies. I got lots of great replies and suggestions on how to help him. One idea the vet had was that my pup has a flea allergy. This was always a little confusing to me b/c I had never spotted a flea on him EVER. But my vet explained that to those dogs that are highly allergic, one flea bite would be enough to send them into an itching frenzy.</P> <P>Well, guess what I found on my dog? A Flea! Not just one flea, but a few fleas here and there over the past week. The first obvious indicator that FLEAS are among us. Which completely grosses me out. No, I don't see fleas jumping off the couch, or on the bed, but I am perfectly aware that I don't have to see them for them to be in my house. </P> <P>My first question is: How do I treat my dog's fleas now that I KNOW that they are there? I treat him monthly with Frontline (which obviously did not help). </P> <P>My second question is: How do I treat my house? It's certainly not an infestation, but they are here. And I need to do what I can to get rid of them.</P> <P>Thanks in advance for any input you can provide.</P> <P><img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://community.qvc.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.png" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" /></P> Tue, 29 Nov 2011 05:35:38 GMT glmama 2011-11-29T05:35:38Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/The-Dreaded-FLEAS/m-p/133889#M56756 <P>Hi Everyone, </P> <P>I recently posted about my dog having skin allergies.
