I need some suggestions please!
I called my vet and spoke with one of the technicians, she suggested that I find a flea shampoo specifically for puppies of that age and I did. The fear is that he will get sick from the harsh chemicals used in these shampoos. Then to use the advantix as a follow up.
I ended up having to call the vet back for something else and asked if they do flea dip on site as I would rather do this than have Logan's first expierence in his new home be a bath just in case he doesn't like the water. I know most pups won't mind but just in case he would. The next tech that I talked to said ABSOLUTLEY not to give him the flea bath just to apply the advantix and that would kill any fleas on him and any that could potentially get into my home.
I went to the local pet store and asked them to get another opion and they said to use dish soap! I won't be doing that!
I'm confused, don't want to have a house invested with fleas but want my pup to be safe. When I visted him at 4weeks I noticed a couple on him so I'm only imagining that there will be more.
Any suggestions for Logan and his very confused mother?
