I don't know how he got them... he doesn't hang out with dig friends or hang out outside in his own. I feel bad for him. :(( poor furbaby

    Do I get the capstar from the vet? Or buy it somewhere else

    Capstar from the vet.  But seriously, look into DE.  It's awesome.
    thank you ladies. This is the first time one of our dogs has had fleas.

    I went to a conference lead by Michael Dryden (leading flea researcher) and he said for k9's that Capstar will take care of the initial problem best and then Comfortis has the highest efficacy for preventative and to further eliminate the rest of the problem.  They are both by Rx only. There is NO flea product out there that kills every stage of the flea life cycle so you MUST keep up on the monthly preventative.  Fleas can be dormant for up to a year or so and any vibrations or temp changes can wake them.  This means that they will easily come back if you are seeing them now.  Keep up on the preventative, treat the environment and all other pets and you should be good to go.  Oh and stay away from ANY products containing pyrethrin(sp?), it is poisonous to dogs and is found in most OTC flea meds.
