No, I personally would not recommend putting this on your dogs. It's not labeled for use in dogs to kill fleas, not will it provide lasting flea protection. I can give you a flea treatment program for your dogs that is both safe and effective. First, I would give them Capstar. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas within 30 minutes. Then follow up with a spot on treatment, such as Advantage or Revolution. This is a treatment that has to be used once a month. You will also have to disinfect the environment. Wash their bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use the Sevin dust on the carpet, follow the package instructions.
