Stubborn fleas on puppy
I can’t get rid of fleas on my 7 month 8 pound puppy. He was treated with Frontline the beginning of July & again August. Less than 3 weeks later I noticed lots of tiny black dots (I’m told they’re flea feces) and a couple of live fleas. The vet treated him with Advantix, but it didn’t help. Two weeks later the vet said to give him another dose of Advantix, which I did, although I was uncomfortable with it. I also had an exterminator in to treat the whole house. I comb him every day and remove a few and bathe him once a week. I don’t know what more to do. He seems to be immune to the medicine. terila

The reason that the Frontline and Advantix aren’t working for you is because you are bathing your puppy every week. These products are distributed around the puppy’s body through the oils in the skin. When you bathe the puppy, you remove those oils, so the flea spot-ons can’t distribute properly (or at all). Stop bathing the puppy, wait at least a week for the oils to accumulate in his skin again, and apply either Frontline or Advantix again. Then DO NOT BATHE YOUR PUPPY AGAIN.
In the meantime, use a flea comb daily to remove any new fleas.
The Frontline or Advantix should work once you stop bathing your puppy and allow the treatment to do its job without interference.
