How do I get my dog flea free?

My dog got fleas about three months ago. I bought bath soap that was supposed to get rid of fleas along with advantage medication. I know you're supposed to put the medicine on once a month but I've been doing it every three weeks and it still hasn't helped! People keep saying I have fleas in the carpet, but my house doesn't have carpet. What can I do to get rid of them?

Answer
Bathe your dog again, give him a Capstar and treat him with K9 Advantix II. This is more effective than the Advantage. Crate your dog somewhere flea-free like the garage or a friend's house while you tackle the house. Fleas can live in your couches, mattress, curtains and clothes. Treating your pet just isn't enough. You need to thoroughly vacuum everything and wash all your bedding, curtains, pillows and clothes that have been lying around. Also wash your dog's bed. Once you have everything thoroughly washed and vacuumed set off a flea bomb, then re-vacuum everything again.

Make sure to keep your house clean by vacuuming everything at least a few times a week, wash your pet's bed frequently, change your sheets on a regular basis and reapply the spot-on treatment on your dog every 20-30 days.

I know of a helpful blog that covers flea removal more in detail that would probably be helpful to you. I'll post a link to it in the source box.

How do I keep my dog comfortable during a storm?

Torchwood-

One of my dogs is terrified of storms, she has been ever since she was a puppy. She is about 7 now and is a medium sized mixed breed dog. Whenever storm come about I usually try to ignore the negative behavior or hold her wrapped up (you know the comforting pressure thing). She gets hot during storms and normally does not want to stay still or be wrapped up. Recently she has taken to hiding under my bed since I often ignore her behavior during night time storms. My question is, What can I do to help relieve her stress when I'm not here? Here separation anxiety isn't bad any more since she has another dog as a friend so I'm mainly worried about her during storms. In August I'm going off to a college that is five hour away. Obviously I'm not going to be here to take care of her and my parents don't understand that my dog is truly scared during storms. When I'm gone the dogs won't be able to get in my room (as my other dog steals things) and my parents do not allow pets in their room. I'm trying to figure out if I should use a crate or something for her to have as a safe spot? I figure I can I can tuck something behind the couch near my bedroom door Any ideas on how to set up a safe spot for her and how to get her to recognize it as that are greatly appreciated. Thank You.
