Best Flea product?

    I used to rotate the flea treatment I used, as found the fleas becoming immune to some, so chopped and changed to keep them on their toes.

    The one that worked for me was Spot On, but in Gold packaging - double the price of the standard stuff. I'd apply this a couple of days after giving the pooch a bath with flea shampoo (think it was Johnsons, and pink); the shampoo did a great job of stunning the adult fleas, and when emptying the bath you could see them floating on the surface.

    Be aware though, that dog treatment can be harmful to cats.

    At least I'm not the only one.

    My job for the day - clean the house & spray with Acclaim.

    The cats are going to be disappointed when it's (hopefully) all cleared up. They love being brushed. The flea comb has just been the icing on the cake for them.
