Fleas

I thiml mine wad Nexgard too.

Frontline and other topical treatments seemed to lose their oomph a year or two back. Perhaps the mild winters are to blame too. I changed to Nexgard tablets for Grace - packs of 3, 1 every 4 weeks and they were wonderful. I had spent a fortune on room sprays which I didn't altogether trust anyway. Others speak highly of Advocate (?)
Ask the receptionist at your vets. They know everything!!

My mum took her dog to the vet couple of days ago and yes she has fleas but not many. He gave her one pill,it's chewable and lasts 12 weeks which is great. She's already stopped scratching. We had bought cheaper over the counter pills but they really don't work so well.
The only downside to this is the price , £31 , gulp.

I only know about cats, but the flea treatments you can buy over the counter are generally not much good. Often it's because the fleas have built up an immunity to that drug. The most effective sadly cost more and are obtained from your vet. Usually need doing every 4 weeks or more. Sorry can't help more. If you knew what he'd last been given and when, you could ask vet for advice.

The last treatment they did just over a week ago was a pill, but I don't know if it was from the vet. They can't use another pill for at least three weeks. I was wondering if a shampoo would be alright in the meantime.

I recently got a tablet to give the dog orally from the vet. It cost about £8 and needs repeating monthly.I just do it for the flea season August to
October and it works really well.
