You can buy over the counter flea repellents that come in a spray or in a cream. There is also natural remedies such as garlic and also applying apple cider vinegar over the whole body.

Can you get rid of fleas?

Yes. While you may never get rid of all the fleas in all life cycles you can do many things that will help you rid your home of fleas. Adult fleas are the only stage of flea that bites and sucks blood.

You can use flea shampoo but follow directions and be careful with this. You should vacuum your carpet several times a week, paying attention to corners. this will kill the larvae and ovum stages of the flea.

Can dogs have allergies to flea bites?

They absolutely can! Veterinarians call this "flea bite dermatitis". In this type of condition, the saliva of the flea causes an allergic reaction in the dog. This is quite common, and can result in a dog feeling quite uncomfortable and itchy. The best solution? Using flea products from your veterinarian, including advantage or revolution. Flea medications purchased from pet stores are less effective and less controlled. Certain flea medications from your veterinarian (such as Advantage) can kill the flea on contact, so the flea doesn't even need to bite the animal to die. Other medications kill when the flea feeds, but prevents full-blown flea problems by killing adult fleas and flea larva. For dogs that have this condition, it is beneficial to keep the dogs on these types of medications whenever they are at high risk to getting fleas. Since dogs can get fleas all year round, some owners may choose to keep their pets on a flea control throughout year. Nutrition and supplements that help to maintain healthy skin and coat can also be used to reduce the symptoms.
