We started using DAWN Dish Detergent after reading some posts on here (Dogs & Pups). I Wash one & get someone to hold the pup while I wash another one. Then rinse the fisrt & so on. Leave it on pup a few minutes. (I lease older pups & dogs to dog kennel or fence let them soak a few minutes. It will kill fleas dead. I also use AVON Skin-So-Soft Orginal Scent Bath Oil. You can Put 2 to 3 Caps Full in a Quart Spray Bottle & Spray Pups or Dogs. (I keep a bottle mixed @ kennel). I have even put some of the Skin-So-Soft in my hand and just wiped the pups or dogs down (even their faces). Will help with Fleas & Knats. Dawn & SSS are both very safe & gentle.
Good Luck with your pups,
Gale Lilly

I've heard of dawn too. Not Skin so Soft tho. I'll have to try it. But how well do either continue to kill or repel fleas.

This is just the way we wash our dogs & try to keep fleas under control without having to buy Expensive Treatments or medicines. We also give our dogs Brewers Yeast Tablets (with Garlic in them). Helps with their coat & the garlic is supose to help with fleas. Tractor supply carries this. Hope this at least helps.
