I am new to this forum. As a brief intro - I am from USJ and have a 5 months old schnauzer. During weekends, I will travel back to my "kampung" (parents house) so I will bring my dog along for the weekend sleep-over. My parents have 2 labradors at home, and in the kampung, houses are not gated or fenced so they are free to roam around and mixed with other dogs. Thus, the fleas (kutu!) are really causing a problem to me.
Initially I thought I could just give schnauzer a bath and pick out the bigger kutu. But the smaller ones are hanging on tight to his skin, in between his hair especially around his hairy ears and also hairy mouth area. I don't know what to do because there are hundreds of them!
I went to a pet shop and there is a vet there who suggested some kind of injection. But I don't like the idea of giving injection to my dog. They also suggested some 'poison' to be poured on the dog but again, the dog will lick at the fluid and could swallow the poison.
Does any of you fellow dog-lovers have encounter this problem before, and what is the best solution to this? without hurting the poor dog...
Yup! I agreed with Chis. Front Line does really work... YOu may want to try the 'Tube type' coz it's really effective. And to prevent any more fleas or ticks problem.. maybe u want to get the Front Line spray... so whenever u bring ur puppy out... U just spray a little to the coat.. I guarantee u... nothing will come near ur darling. Hehehehe!!! You can get Front Line from any pet shops.
some like the flea collars for the reason that furkid won't lick the collar...although i know of some really mischievious ones who have eaten up their own collar (one of my girls chipsy used to do that).
