[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 226730, member: 29323"] You Canute be serious? No one can be expected to stop a flea issue at source. Dogs collect fleas whilst out on walks. That is like believing that you can stop the tide from coming in. For example. I walk my dogs everyday in a large country estate & generally meet up with other dog walkers, our dogs mingle & play together. Plus our dogs are in a several hundred acres of grassland & woodland. And even when I walk my dogs around the housing estate, my dogs can still acquire fleas from outside my home. Try to vacuum your carpet more than once a day & as thoroughly as you can. That will help to reduce the fleas & when we had our Scottish Terrier, the flea treatments helped, but he still needed a collar too sometimes. Just make sure the collar uses different ingredients to Advantage. My vet also recommended using a flea collar in the vacuum cleaner. There is some debate about the effectiveness of flea collars in vacuum cleaners, but every little helps. [/QUOTE]
