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.

Garlic. Put garlic in his food. Our dogs often had problems with fleas. My mother put some mashed (fresh) garlic in their food and problems solved. The fleas don't like the smell that comes from the skin...
Which reminds me, I need to get some more Frontline...
