Does anybody know if there's a flea dip bath going on anywhere?

Is this some kind of festival I don't know about? My mom always just dipped our dogs at home. But, that was a long, long time ago.

I thought the human society or somebody did flea dips.

Frontline for fleas, ticks and flies works perfectly and now their active ingredient is no longer patented, so you can buy the generic.

I buy Friproguard by Sentry and it's very reasonable. Just squirt it between their shoulder blades and it will kill all the ticks and fleas within 48 hours and keep them away for at least a month.

Yeah, unless the animal is just saturated in fleas, I would just Frontline them. However, if this is a stray off the street that is covered in fleas and eggs, a dip would be quicker and offer them immediate relief. Then I would get them on a Frontline or similar treatment as soon as it was safe.

Take your dog to the lake and let them play in the lake water it will take care of any fleas and your not putting cancer causing chemicals on your pets.

I would take my chances with the one-time dip.
