In reply to Tanya. Hi Tanya. If it is flea collars you have used, then it’s likely that your pets still have fleas. They generally are not very good at completely eliminating them, despite reducing the visible evidence. You’ll notice a link in this article to better products, and specifically I recommend the newer tablet forms. These have been excellent for animals like yours.

My dog has been treated for fleas. We saw one on his stomach but moving slow. I’m assuming it was dying. But he is itching like crazy! He is a cocker spaniel and yes I did give him baths, three in total within a few weeks apart. All animals have been treated an are wearing flea collars. How do I know if they are gone?

In reply to Graeme Munt. Hi Graeme. Yes, it’s quite safe to do both – in theory the two drugs will have a cumulative affect but in practice we never see any problems. Perhaps also see my comments on MDR-1 mutations in mainly collie breeds.

If my dogs have annual heartworm injections is it OK to also give them monthly flea tablets which also include treatment for heartworm ?
