I would recommend either Revolution or Comfortis for flea prevention. If he has a really heavy flea load then you can first give a Capstar, which will get rid of the fleas within 1 hr and then follow up with a flea preventative for long term control. I hope you are able to get rid of these pesky pests. Best wishes with Axel. Take care.
