I have two dachshunds who are just over a year old. I have seen them scratching and saw a flea on one of them.

What is a good medication to kill and prevent fleas on my dogs?
Is this something I can buy in a store?

Thanks for any helpful advice!

Our cats have fleas and we’ve tried everything. Are there any real alternatives to Advantage? We have 5 adult kitties and 4 kittens, so advantage is cost-prohibitive. I’m allergic to flea bombs, but I haven’t reacted badly to flea powder, so I could sprinkle that liberally on the floor, if need be. Suggestions, anyone?

My cat has never had fleas(at least that i have seen) and I have always used frontline on my dog… should i start putting flea prevention stuff on my cat? and what works the best for the money?

Well I got some flea drops from the vet ,it’s called first shield. They claimed it worked better than front line and advantage. Well after 2 wks the fleas are back. So what is the best flea drops and do I have to wait 2 more wks to use it or can I use it now.
