Garlic, put garlic in your dogs food. This works for cats too.

Frontline is the way to go because we had the same problem with our cat. We had horrible fleas and our son would wake up with bites. I asked the vet about safe ways to treat and he said just get the Frontline because the fleas will flock to the cat and quickly die. And he was right. No flea baths, no chemicals on the carpet- nothing but Frontline. Ask your vet. Also since you have a dog that goes out all the time- you want to maintain it every month to prevent the problem.

Oh, and we also even set off some of those fog bug killers in all of our rooms. We turned them on when we were about to leave for a few hours. When we got back, the smell was very faint and didn`t bother me. Good luck!

We had a break out of fleas about a year ago and did everything possible to get rid of them. Definitely get some frontline or another brand similar to it that you put on back of the dog`s neck. This prevents them from reproducing. Also, give your dog a bath DAILY with flea shampoo. I even bought some carpet powder and used it on my carpets. Vacuuming pretty much every day helps too. The flea spray seemed to really bother my dog so I didn`t use it again after seeing her reaction.

For immediate relief give him a flea bath ~ can do it a couple times ~ our dog had them this fall so I can relate. Then also get the frontline to add for added prevention. Then we also got the powder you put in sleeping areas, mattresses etc. Put it on, brush it in then vac later. It is important to get the eggs in the carpets, bedding etc, not just on the dog ~

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
