dyk my parent's dog has skin allergies - bad - he gets hot spots and they have to bathe, shave, treat, etc, it's crazy


dyk right now Shiloh Sparkler has some fleas - they creep me out - we deep cleaned her in the tub with the flea shampoo - wonder if we should do it again? she didn't seem to mind it at all

DYK those flea shampoos can really dry out a dog's skin; I don't know if I would do it again so quickly.

dyk ugh! I tried to be really careful - every blanket, towel that she touched I washed. So all the laundry has been done.


dyk the other thing is that it could be a chigger bite - we have chiggers in the yard - we need to treat out backyard and I took the dog back out there to walk her this morning -


dyk I am going to google it now.

DYK She should like the igloo house??? We've always found that our dogs like to have 'a place of their own', you know??? She'll need a place to go where she feels safe and she can rest and not be disturbed.

DYK You might want to check the flea shampoo directions for info about when it's safe to repeat???

DYK We use Sentinel for our dogs??? It's a once a month chewable pill that takes of heartworms and fleas/ticks. It's great...I have absolutely no complaints and the dogs think it's a real treat!!!

dyk luckily with the fleas - we don't have a stitch of carpet anywhere in our house - so that makes it a bit easier should we find that they did in deed spread or whatever


dyk the flea shampoo says it kills most all the fleas immediately and then 1-2 days for maximum flea effectiveness.


dyk she'll be outside by then and we'll get her the chewable or flea color until they are totally gone

dyk we've been told NOT to bathe Barlow very often because it is damaging to his skin


dyk we use Canine Advantix for flea and tick prevention and have had absolutley no fleas or ticks since we started with it, even though he hikes in the hills almost every day


dyk we have also found an incredible amount of info about dog health on the Drs. Foster and Smith website


dyk it is a catalog, but it has great articles


dyk here's the link to their page on Advantix, which lists a bunch of articles on flea and tick control


http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=9535


dyk in case you are wondering how we keep Barlow clean and fresh in between baths, we use pet wipes to get off visible dirt and freshen him up.


dyk I really hate a smelly dog and the wipes help a lot.

dyk Abigail wets the bed 2-3 times a night - it's annoying as hell, but she won't wear anything- she's not worn a diaper since she was 22 mos old.


dyk and where can I get Advantix?
