Relief from the plague of fleas

Our cockapoo Myla summer 2016 brought home a bunch of fleas:

(one of Myla's cousins from the Internet)

(not actual size)


My fault completely; when I noticed her scratching early on and I said "fleas!!" my wife said no, she just has dry skin. So I filed her under "dry skin" and forgot about it.

Summer 2016: the "dry skin" took over our house ... first I spoke with our vet and asked for a solution ... "Internal or external?" he asked. I said "what's faster?"

He asked how much the dog weighed and then prescribed this:

This worked immediately and (after we bombed the house) we haven't seen a flea since. We just give the little dog one of these (pseudo?) meaty treats every 12 weeks. I can do that for the rest of her doggy life ...

Dog owners: do yourself a favor and get this for your dog!
