If there is one thing that I haved learned about trying to control fleas using natural methods, it's that you simply cannot slack off on the effort.

Normally, it would not be a big deal to slack off too much, the fleas would get a little worse, then we would redouble our efforts and the population would drop back down again. No big deal, right? Well add in a dog that has flea allergy dermatitis, and the whole thing changes.

Sammy has actually been very lucky as far as fleas are concerned. They simply don't like the taste of him. We can pull dozens of fleas off the cats with a flea comb, yet never find a single flea on Sam. We never find any flea dirt on him either. It seems that after one bite, they decide to search for their food someplace else.
