there are a few possible reasons for this 1. you may not be using enough 2. you may not be getting it directly on the dog's skin 3. the fleas may have developed a resistance to the medication 4. there may be too many fleas to be controlled by advantage whatever the cause, you can do several things 1. make sure that the size you are using is correct for your dog's weight 2. be certain that you follow the directions on the package very closely 3. if the above doe not help, try changing to a different product, with a different active ingredient 4. if there are still no results, ask your veterinarian about Capstar. capstar is a pill that begins killing fleas ~30 minutes after giving it to your dog, and i have seen it work wonders for dogs that had been previously miserable from severe flea infestations, so try it out! also remember that fleas reproduce in the environment (grass, carpet, etc.) so killing them there is vital for prevention of re-infestations

How can you kill fleas without hiring an exterminator?
Not really. The most effective way of getting rid of fleas is to use one of those once a month flea medications such as Frontline, Advantage or Advocate. The best, most effective brands can be bought from your vet. These are a once a month flea medication that will prevent fleas & ticks from getting on him or her for a month. You apply it topically. Combing the dog regularly will remove dead or dying fleas, and should be done until no more fleas can be seen. Washing the dog using a flea shampoo for dogs is also another method for helping getting rid of fleas. Never use human shampoo, detergent or any other products with strong chemicals in. They may kill the fleas, but will also irritate the dog's skin and will cause unnecessary discomfort.

Will fleas jump off a dog after flea drops are applied?
Yes. They jump off and into the carpet, etc. furniture. One way to eliminate fleas on the dog is to bathe them, neck down, then do the head. You may see the fleas going down onto the nose or into the ears. I use Eucalyptus soap, but as long as you use soap and water it will drown the fleas. Vacuum a lot, and dispose of the bag immediately to the trash. Soap works faster and more safely than pesticides with fleas. Be sure to lather up the dog or cat and don't hurry to rinse off... let the fleas absorb into the lather, then rinse. Shampooing will eliminate the live fleas, pesticide will not; it weakens them (and your dog).
