control, it might be necessary to try other things.

both the adult fleas and the flea eggs, eliminating your dog’s flea problem.
If none of these treatments work for effective flea control, however, you should definitely talk to you vet. Your veterinarian may be able to recommend some even more effective treatments that aren’t sold over the counter. Hopefully, however, one of the many products that are on the market
