I put some Frontline on his collar and harness where it won't wash off so easily, but even before we started going in the pool this year he was having problems with fleas. Next month I'm switching to Advantage to see if that works better. In the meantime, I have a flea shampoo that I bought from the vet. The baby oil really seems to help the dryness, though. I've also started spraying him down with the hose after swimming to remove any chlorine residue.
try the fish oil tablets. seriously. the same ones you are buying for yourself at Costco. give him one a day. it's great for their coats and joints! olive oil never hurts! if you are getting fleas in the house try sweeping 20 Mule Team Borax into the rug. when I've had flea issues around here, I've purchased a nemotode that consumes the flea larva. you put it around your yard. pretty effective!
