Killing Dog Fleas Frequently Asked Questions, Part One

Below are some of the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on killing dog fleas. Chances are you've asked quite a few of them yourself.

Q: What are the more common ways of killing dog fleas?

A: This is a common question usually asked by owners trying to deal with fleas for the first time. Some of the more established methods of killing dog fleas include giving dogs baths using chemicals or oils that suffocate adult fleas and remove flea eggs from their fur, feeding dogs certain foods like garlic and vinegar, applying a variety of topical treatments, and making use of sprays and powders that drastically reduce the flea population in both dog and home.

There is hardly a shortage of options in treating dog fleas, but some may be more effective on your dog than others. If you're new to the game, you should experiment with a few method to see which one is the best.


Q: My flea treatments don't seem to work anymore. What happened?

A: There's a good chance that the fleas you're currently dealing with have developed some sort of resistance to the products you've been using, especially if you've been using them exclusively for some time. Don't panic, though. Just because they have developed an immunity to a certain treatment doesn't mean they are no longer vulnerable to others.

Mix it up for a while. Try out some alternative remedies; they are plenty for you to choose from. You may even be able to go back to the old treatment after some time and notice that it is, once again, effective.
