Whats the best way of getting rid of fleas, ticks & others on dogs??

I can't vote either because it requires a few things. I start off with the flea medication that goes on once a month. If the dog doesn't experience relief within a few weeks, I treat the house with the scary pesticide spray. If that doesn't offer relief, I treat the yard. Only once did I need to do all three things to get the dog relief. He's very allergic.

A little chopped garlic in the daily food will get rid of fleas on dogs. Half a clove is usually enough. Farmers have used this method for years and it really does work great. It keeps fleas away because it makes the dog taste bad to them so they just prefer to find some other host LOL
