Nicki asked:
After I found the one, I searched for more and have seen nothing! I have him on K9 Advantix and he has never missed a dose. He is outside in a new yard with a whole lot of trees! Is it possible that one just jumped on and is trying to move in, but is shielded and just hasnt jumped off or died yet? I am freaking out, I **** the thought of itchy bugs on my dog. Any comments please?

The way flea treatment works is to kill fleas that bite the dog. The flea probably had not bit him yet and you just happened to see him. I wouldn’t worry about it unless your dog becomes infested.

Your dog will probley be fine. Don’t worry about it! If you see another one you should tell the vet that it is not working.

you shuld try not 2 worry, or see a doctor, you shuld read over the box and check wat it says and i agree it hepls wen the flea bites ur dog and it may not have bitten yet and if it does bite and it doesnt go away 4 a while den u shuld see a doctor(vet) and just let them look at it and see wat day say

don’t worry advantix works if the occasional flea doesn’t go along for a ride how would you know its working. i would treat the yard to stop them though

Talk to your vet, because different flea medications do not all work the same, particularly where I live in San Diego. Try Frontline or Revolution. Switching up flea medication periodically is a good idea anyway.
