I took my dog to a party last week (thursday). In short, their dog had fleas and I just found out yesterday when I saw a bug on him and he was itching constantly. I mentioned this to my friend and they acted so casual about it.
Anyway, I went and bought Comfortis and gave it to him about 12 hours ago. Also have sprayed the house with flea repellent, good for 7 months.
I only have seen one bug one bug ever, but 12 hours later he is still constantly itching. I haven’t bathed him (as I’ve been cleaning all the bed sheets, linens and what not. He sleeps in my bed which was just dry cleaned today and I don’t know if he should be sleeping with me until the problem is gone.
Why is he still itching?!

My dog has a severe allergy to flea bites. The Vet has suggested different allergy medications to control the itching (benadryl, etc.), we tried a few topical sprays that were recommended by the Vet. Nothing works. The Vet has given her a couple of steriod injections and said it would give her some relief. It didn’t and I don’t want her to have any more steroids. The Vet doesn’t have any more suggestions other than putting her on harsh medications. Frontline only kills the fleas after they bite. It’s my poor dog that concerns me. She is scratching herself raw. Does anyone have any remedies that have worked? I’ve done vinegar rinses, tea tree oil rubs, anti-itch shampoos, the allergy pills, the topical sprays and nothing helps. Also, I was wondering if anyone had a good flea repellent that is safe to put on my dog.
We have tented the house and sprayed the yard for fleas. We live in a rural area and it’s impossible to get rid of all the fleas. I tried Frontline, Advantage and Revolution. The problem is a flea bite allergy and not food allergy.

Does anyone know what I can use in my yard to keep fleas out or at least to a minimum? I don’t want to just go out there and pour a bunch of chemicals (collateral damage would be the death of beneficial arachnids and bugs) but the flea situation is really bad this year and my dog’s topical flea/heart-worm med is just not doing the trick. (He is allergic to the edible heart-worm meds)
Cedar is out as well because I am allergic to cedar oil…
