OTC - When Fleas Need to Be Gone ASAP
Over-the-counter (otc) products & more, that you can use once you spot 🕵🏼 a flea 🫣
Flea Comb! Easy to use and I always keep a paper towl drenched with alcohol because live fleas are less likely to jump around once on the paper towel. BUT be quick because those suckers are hard to catch

CAPSTAR® (nitenpyram) for Dogs & Cats
An hour after giving capstar, wash your pup 😊 leave the shampoo on for at least a few minutes. Most flea shampoos have really detailed directions on them, so follow them! I always wash my pets with their regular shampoo and conditioner the following...

Shampoo - By Veterinary Formula Smart Coat Complex
I have not met a dog that didn’t love these treats! After treating for fleas, some pets may be a little stressed out. I like to give them a little treat at the end of the process just in case we have to treat them again before they get adopted 😅
FULL MOON Chicken Jerky Human-Grade Dog Treats
Another one of my favorite treats for pups! My mom did eat one of these by mistake because it was in the pantry. BUT she did say they were yummy.

Precor 2000 Plus Spray Flea Control-1 Can ZOE1012
Fleas can come from anywhere but I always like to protect my yard or areas that my pets use frequently with a spray prevention. I spray this about every two weeks in the summer in high traffic areas where my dogs use the potty. In the winter, once every month does the trick. Usually two bottles of this stuff will last me the whole year and its very effective.

Another indoor spray that I really love! There are a ton of pests that don't like the smell of rosemary (or lavender), but I do! They are also pet safe smells!
Wondercide -Rosemary Indoor Pest Control Spray
Flea traps! Set it & forget it! I check these pretty randomly during the week and if I see any fleas I know it's time to spray, check the dogs, & deep clean! Thankfully most of the time I only see gnats from my plants. This is just an extra s...
