A single flea can bite a dog more than 400 times.

A female flea can lay hundreds of eggs on your pet.

When I lived in Hawaii, the vet said they had100 different kinds of fleas. My pomeranians were given a pill and a liquid at the same time. He said the two medications had to work together to kill their fleas. We had to treat the yards constantly. Then a kennel owner told us of a great treatment to use on the yards. Worked great.

Your yard is never free of fleas. Any person or animal passing by can have one or more fleas on them. Then those fleas can jump off into your yard. Maybe hitch a ride on you or your dog. Next thing you know their back in your house. It doesn’t matter if you just sprayed your yard or not.

You kill only the ones in the yard with the treatment. But does nothing to the new ones entering your yard. So when they spray your just wasting your money. You can go buy a cheaper product that works just as good. But got to admit this product the kennels suggested works pretty good.

This is my flea spray I use on my poms.
I cut up 1 lemon into quarters. Then I put the sections into a pint jar. Cover them with boiling water. Let it sit out all night. In the morning I strain it, and spray them.

Burrs on a dog. Just pour on a little vegetable oil. Wait 5 minutes or so, and tcomb them
out.

Flea collars I put on before flea season starts.

I keep my pet food in a pail with a lid.

I keep their bowls on a rubber mat, no spills.

Now if you want to get your dog spayed or neutered, I’d suggest calling the pet shops- ask when the mobile for these surgeries is going to be in town. Get signed up. There cheaper than a vet, do a good job, and you can pick your animal up in a few hours.

Dog coolers- Take a large western size hanker chief and soak it in cold water. Next fold it into a triangle. Now lay it in the freezer. When it is ready, tie it around your dogs neck. Keeps him nice an cool. I make four of these. Keep them on hand constantly. When one gets warm, I switch to another.

I also make them coolers that stay cold for hours. But you need to put beads in these. I make them for adults too.. These are awesome. In the summer you can play ball for at least two – three hours Stay cool in the meantime.

I also keep them cool inside. I keep a spray bottle of water in my frig. Then I mist them with it. They like this mist on their faces. I just say, o.k. time to get sprayed, and they come. No problem. Or time to get brushed, and they run.

I vacuum my dogs also. They don’t mind, they like it. I say o.k. guys heads up , and up goes the head, so I can vacuum the neck area. Then I go over the whole body next. Last the little tail gets sucked into the hose, and we’re done. They like to stay pretty and handsome, and I like keeping them that way. I use Zodiac shampoo on them. After the scrubbing, my hubby keeps an eye on them. I run around an vacuum all my carpeting. When I finish, we both rinse and let them out. Then we have clean dogs, and clean carpeting at the same time. No fleas, until they go back outside. . Then it keeps down the shedding. Although they don’t shed much anyway. I have two little ones. A male and a female.
