keep fleas at bay for some time after dipping, but it is not recommended by most veterinarians. The downside is that your dog might eat or swallow these parasites after licking, since a flea dip stays on the dog’s hair coat. Another option is a flea collar.

Products intended for your home is too strong to use on your pet. Using two or three different flea products at the same time can be toxic for your dog.
