We are having a very heavy flea infestation. After applying Frontline Plus continuously every month since a puppy (she is now 20 months old) it did not take care of the problem. Switched to K-9 Advantix three days ago and dog is having bad side effects; hyperventilating, not sleeping during the night, not eating all food, scratching producing hot spots. I plan on removing the product today with Dawn Liquid Detergent as suggested by manufacturer. After removing product what can I do to keep fleas off pet. Vet’s office said not to apply anything for two weeks. In the meantime, if I do that I will have a flea infestation in the house. Advantix vet tech said I could apply another product immediately will have no adverse effect. Any suggestions on what I can do? I don’t want the dog to suffer from fleas and don’t want to infest my house. And, I am afraid to wait two weeks without the dog having any protection. She is a Bichon Frise (white) and can see fleas jump on her. Treated lawn twice in a month and still have fleas.

The following reply is by : chetco :
After many years of trying nearly all of the products, I find Revolution works the best. My dogs (breed)are super sensitive to chemicals, but have had no problems with Revolution. Call around your vet clinics and ask them if they carry it. The first treatment is often given for free as a promotion.
Where has it been all my life! Great product.
