We use Hartz Flea & Tick Conditioning Shampoo for the dog and for the house and dog Adam's Flea and Tick mist which is a incesticide, repellant and deoderant. Both which aren't too pricey and you can get and any pet supplie. As of now, Simba has no fleas. BUt it took us a while to get to this point... Yopu have to treat the yard, house and give the dog a bath about once or twice a week... and I know allllll about thoose flea bites on the legs!
