Re: [pyrnet] Pyr with Fleas

Kodi & Sugar are outdoor dogs so I use Vectra-3D (fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, lice, mites and sand flies). Either way, you might want to consider a Capstar in addition to whatever topical you choose.

I have had very good luck with both. My experience is that the Capstar truly does work rapidly and just about takes care of the immediate problem.

I get the Capstar from the vet and only noticed just now it is available OTC

I use Comfortiss. Will knock those little buffers dead within a few hours. Prescription. Need to get thru your vet. Be sure you give it with food or the dog will puke.
