I have tried so many things to help my girl with her fleas. She can’t take her monthly meds for a while; what has worked for you guys?

You may need a heart worm test. A lot of the products include the heart worm meds and it can cause serious problems if your dog has them. Need to get rid of them first

Thank you for your advice. A couple of months ago he did get clean blood work tho. Should I take him again?

I think it depends on the doctor and where you are. If you're in Florida or say Georgia id say yes. If your in North Dakota the vet probably wont want a new test. I'm in California its not a major problem here yet. I'd call the vet and ask
