    I dont know of any that actually repel fleas.

    The better ones kill fleas, and work by stopping the breeding cycle. In all reality, your dog will only pick up one or two fleas outside. When your dog is over-run by fleas, its because they then breed and nest inside your home.

    Fontline, Advantage, and Revolution are the best products. They are all about the same price wherever you go. You may find deals online, but once you pay for shipping, you're not really getting a price cut. Your local vet or petshop is the best place to get these.

    I have had problems with Frontline Plus too. I have switched my adult dogs to Adams topical flea and tick preventive which is working great for me. It helps if you use a flea and tick dip or shampoo to remove all fleas and ticks from your dog, about 3 days before applying the treatment. Also be sure to treat your house and your dog's bedding. For mange, your dog needs to see your vet for appropriate treatment.
