07/15 - Salient Saturday!

I heard that, I'll have to go buy some. Only original and only dawn right?

 

The Original blue kind is very soapy. The soapiness helps kill them I guess.

I am currently waging war with those lil' guys. Even with frequent baths and flea combs, I am losing. Keep an eye out for the eggs. They look like little black sand. I flush them down the toilet or they spawn endlessly.

 

This is also an option lol

 

Diatomaceous earth is apparently good at getting rid of them if they're breeding in your house and not just on your pets. If you're dealing with an infestation, I'd look into it. Also, I use a topical flea preventative for my dog and haven't had any issues with fleas, on him at least. My sister's dog is very flea prone, though thankfully I don't have to deal with her anymore.

Unless your dog is doublecoated.

 

oh right I forgot about that

 

I think mine is doublecoated

 

Yeah I don't know much about dogs but it does look hilarious

 

Do any of you like to do Hubpages hits?

 

I did the 15 test HITs and I guess I didn't make the cut cause I haven't heard anything yet but I think they're decent if you have the qual

 

Do they just pay 5 cents per page if you get the qual?

 

Both Collies and Shelties are doublecoats, yes.

 

Yeah in that case the best thing would prob be the dawn soap I would assume and if you can find some flea treatment that would be okay to give to a puppy of his weight put that on afterwards.

 

Furminator and then a flea comb. Furmintor is one of the best things I ever bought for my cat. It really helps to take out their undercoat and my cat loves it.

Large size for long hair is the best value and works great on my large size cat.

EDIT: oops, sorry I posted the cat link for furminator. Here is the dog one.

Wow....crazy numbers there!

 

I used to but you slowly lose your quality rating so your bonus goes down and it gets to a point where it isn't worth it anymore.

 

Oh look, a Husky bobblehead.

 

Yeah, my little guy has been reacting negatively to some of the flea stuff I got (soresto collar and adam's flea and tick spray) and the other stuff (advantage and frontline) didn't work at all. I am near the beach and there is a lot of sand everywhere so it is tough dealing with them. We also go on like 5 walks a day and they seem to jump on him during each one.

I am looking into more natural remedies atm, but frequent baths and flea comb works well. I have a headlamp that I wear when I begin the extermination lol. My pup sees me put it on and runs.

Anybody doing these?

 

I know there's some essential oils that repel fleas/mosquitos(heartworms is a big one here), but I also hear some dogs and cats can have allergic reactions to them, so I'd do some thorough research before getting into them.

 

Sounds kind of like ProductRnR ratings, where they keep going down no matter how well you think you're doing, until you can't work for them anymore.
