| Garlic is OK in small moderation. It really isn't great for them. I have dog treat recipes that call for garlic, but just to be on the safeside, I don' t use it. |

The best thing I have ever seen for fleas was from my vet. I took in a stray kitten (now my beautiful Trance), and she gave me a tiny pill. He took half there and half 30 minutes later. The fleas literally fell off of him. I had to clean them up off the bathroom floor all night. I have no idea what it was, but it was worth it.

teatree is also fantastic.
lesson learned from wildlife rehab.
a little teatree shampoo when flushing a wound will have the maggots running for their lives.
dunk your dog - and the fleas will jump off or at least run north, where you can chase them down and let them have it. |

They have a website, but it doesn't really say where to get it. It seems that it's only flea protection. I'm sure the vet would have it.
The drops on the back of their neck work too, but I don't know if they get rid of them as effectively. |
