What kills fleas?

If your dog has fleas I wouldn't suggest you use insecticide to get rid of them as it could harm your dog. You can easily obtain flea treatment shampoos and preventative measures to help stop them reappearing from any good pet store. Regularly grooming your dog will help too as you can stop any fleas which you do find. Get rid of them quickly using the appropriate treatment as fleas can lead to other dog health problems such as hair loss if the dog continually scratches in an attempt to find relief from the irritation.

What kills fleas On dog?

Fleas are really common. Dogs can get fleas from other dogs, cats and grass. Identify where you think they got fleas from and stop this, so they don't keep getting fleas. You have to treat carpets, sofas and the whole house if the infestation is quite bad. Hoovering is the best way to get rid of most fleas and their eggs. Fleas lay eggs in crack and gaps so concentrate on these areas. Medication for getting rid of fleas on the dog will only work if you solve the carpet/sofa issue. You can get drops to put on the back of the dogs neck. These are really effective because it doesn't kill the fleas - it means the eggs the fleas lay won't survive, so you break the life-cycle. Flea shampoos are not effective - normal water and soap will kill fleas. Pills for fleas are also not recommended as they only kill the fleas that are on the dog - not in the carpets. If these methods don't work, get an exterminator in to gas the whole house!

Usually when a dog does that they have allergies or fleas. I remember every summer my cat would get a raw patch of skin because he sucked on it because it itched from allergies.

If you vacuum, be sure to spray inside the bag before putting it into the outside garbage.
