I have a dog and a cat. The cat fleas terrible. I had tried flea shampoo, and applied advantix and did not work. Then I tried dawn and lemon juice and worked wonderful. Also used it on the dog. Also made their fur really soft. Has anyone else have issues with fleas?

As soon as we moved here, years ago, the dog and the cat were totally infested. Had to get stuff from the vet to take care of it. It was so bad they were eating us alive. Used Borax in the laundry to kill them. We never had to deal with them back home. This dog gets a chewable that covers more than just fleas.

One neighbor said he cannot get rid of them. I have seen 3 all summer. My dogs are white, so they are easy to spot. I have heard they were really bad. I have used dawn for years.

We have not had any problems this year with feas. We have a special bath made of oatmeal for the dog. His main concern is allergies, so we give him a steady diet of Benadryl.

I've had this problem before. #1 Dawn is NOT good for them!
#2 Use a nit comb to get them out.
#3 Use reg. table salt & baking soda, sprinkled on your carpet & the brush end of a mop to spread it evenly, let it sit for 1/2 a day, then vaccuum it. Vaccuum daily until they're gone!
#4 You can also buy Demetrius Earth @ the pet store across from Ottawas Walmart & Goodwill. They have 40# bags, cheaper than the smaller cont. Sprinkle it on & around mattress's. You can also sprinkle it on thier fur, being careful NOT to get it in thier eyes. Use on cloth furniture, rugs etc. Vaccuum daily until they're gone!
#5 WASH everything that is fabric, towels etc. Wipe down all the other furniture.
#6 Do NOT use over-the-counter shampoos etc..., as they don't work & have harmful chemicals in them! Get your flea collars, etc. from your vet!
#7 Buy cheap flea collars from a dollar store, cut them up & put under the couch etc.
#8 Buy a bag of flea & bug "yard-granules to spread outside your home, to get rid of them or you'll be tracking MORE in the house! At the very least, put a rug out-side your doors & have everyone take their shoes off before entering the house, include a check of socks, legs etc.

I have never heard Dawn was bad. I have used it for years and no flea problem here. Shoot they use it on the poor oiled up animals. That is the first I, have heard of it, as several vets as well as groomers recommend it.
