still finding the odd flea : (

[refmum]

Despite using frontline combi,spraying whole house with indorex including all soft furnishings and bedding.

My dog scratched all night last night,have just gone through him with flea comb again and found one live flea,what shall i do next?

Itchy in Cornwall.

Frontline kills fleas within 24 hours - meaning that when a flea lands on your dog it can take 24 hours to die. The only better option is Advocate that kills fleas within 2 hours.

my dog has obviously been a meal for fleas and is incredibly itchy,is there anything i can do to ease his discomfort? he's much worse at night,i guess he gets warm and the itching becomes worse.

oh and thanks Lizcat for the advice,will buy Advocate next time

Using Evening primrose oil can help these dogs a little.

I think there is some resistance to frontline developing. Both my dog and cat were on it a year or so ago and I could not get on top of fleas. When I protested to the vet, he almost drowned the poor cat in it - sprayed her until she was dripping. She was quite ill after it. Yet still we had fleas.

When we got our pup, I used the opportunity to register with a different vet as I wasn't happy that my pets were suffering but he wouldn't listen. They are now all on advocate and not a flea in sight on any of them since we got Poppy nearly a year ago.

Looks like Advocate is the way to go
