    fleas. Frontline works as does Advantage and Advantix. You will need to continue with the monthly treatments and treat your house . Sounds like you have a bad infestation

    Frontline kills the fleas that bite your Shih Tzu.

    It sounds like you might have a flea infestation. Contact a professional pest control company and have them spray inside and outside.

    You might consider bringing your Shih Tzu down to a puppy clip if you haven't already. Brush your dog daily and use a flea comb. Bathe your dog weekly with a puppy shampoo until the flea situation is under control.

    Do not bathe your dog for 48 hours before or after applying Frontline or Advantage.

    Try putting a flea collar in your vacuum cleaner bag (not on your dog) Sprinkle flea powder on your carpet before vacuuming (don't put it on your dog)

    Getting rid of the fleas is going to be a multifaceted process, but it's not impossible.

    I usually Use this shampoo called Hartz. It works really well for my lhasa apso All you have to do is watch him up and leave your dog dipped in this shampoo for about 5 to 10 minutes and the fleas will die you will see em when you rinse your dog off trust me that works for my dog also there s this different types of stuff like the front line for one i heard that works really well just stay away from the flea collar that has never ever worked for me i swear I think that s the worst thing you could ever buy and be careful with the sprays my dog has allergic skin and this caused him to get a really bad rash so i stop using that to me this has been the safest and if your on a budget you can get the shampoo for a cheap as 5 to 6 bucks depending where you go try walmart ! But as long as you bath your dog regularly with this shampoo once a week they will be gone.

    Do NOT use Hartz products or anything over the counter. The products are VERY toxic to your dogs. And they do not work. In this case you get what you pay for. Call your vet and get what he recommends.

    Bathing your dog once a week with a toxic flea shampoo is just plain stupid.

    They sound like fleas. Frontline may not work for you dog. Try Advantix, or ask your vet to recommend another monthly treatment.

    Are they little bugs that are stuck in his skin and you cant pull them off? If so they could be sheep ticks. You need to go to the vets to get these removed as if you pull the heads off they stay inside the skin and can cause infection.

    They are bloodsuckers and will get bigger every day at your dogs expense.

    Hope this helps.

    i in my opinion attempt to not get worked up over too plenty extra often than not. i'm form of laid lower back and prefer to stay a rigidity unfastened existence as much as obtainable. So needless to say THIS gets to me. a guy or woman is driving down the line, somebody pulls in front of them -- or makes an errors in judgment (happens time-honored and there is not a soul who drives who hasn't made a minimum of ONE errors in judgment) and the different guy or woman makes a decision that they might desire to beep and beep and beep.....purely to coach that different guy or woman who they're dissatisfied. ok, this accomplishes not something. It in easy terms stresses different drivers, the motive force who made the errors -- and that they might't take it lower back or maybe convey regret......PLUS it would desire to be an previous guy or woman and that they may well be scared right into a heart attack by way of fact of something like that. another element that bugs me although is identifying to purchase issues that are available in that onerous plastic which you somewhat desire a observed to open. working example, bypass to the keep to purchase scissors on the grounds which you haven't any.....and that they are in a tricky plastic kit yet you may not open the stupid element on the grounds which you do not have the scissors - LOL (they're interior the kit) -- I very plenty dislike that onerous plastic......that purely motives rigidity.
