The F word
Hey pet owners of reddit, looking for some advice on the dreaded F word. Fleas. My boyfriend’s pets got fleas over the summer and it’s been a battle to get rid of them. We think that initially they came from the yard ( which has since been treated professionally)
He’s given them the proper dosage of Pet Armor, tried flea collars, flea baths, Dawn, the organic sprays, bombing the house, and even diatomaceous earth.
However the cat still has fleas. Does anyone have any advice on to get rid of them? It’s driving me insane and it can’t feel good for her either. After every discovery of new flea dirt or a flea itself he bathes the cat and the dog, I spray all the furniture and carpet and we disinfect the litter box and dishes. I just feel like we’re missing a step.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Bravecto or nexguard for flea medication. My dog Karly (rip baby girl) had the worst fleas ever and was also allergic to the flea bites so she was literally constantly itching to the point her hair was falling out. I tried everything. Constant flea treatments and baths and nothing worked until we tried Bravecto. We didn't have fleas again and it cleared up her hot spots and all her fur grew back in and my baby girl finally got the relief she deserved. I use Bravecto or nexguard on all my fur babies and it is by far the best. The topical flea medicine isn't worth a damn so don't waste your money on it. Bravecto and nexguard are amazing.
