My dog has flea eggs, Frontline failed. What shampoo is safe for sensitive skin?

Question

Hi! My dog have A LOT of FLEA EGGS, in the vet they put the FRONTLINE PIPETTE, but since day 1 IT DOESN'T WORK, I don't know what to do, he has sensitive skin, or what brand of shampoo is effective for fleas? I SWEAR, I try my best to maintain my house clean, or any natural way like vinegar combined with the water when I shower him? Lemon? I had another dog and he was free of fleas putting a collar. Please help!!! Greetings from Guatemala. Pet's info: Dog | Poodle | Male | unneutered | 9 years and 5 months old

Hello, sorry to hear about Toffy. What you're seeing may or may not bee flea eggs. Flea eggs most commonly are found on the environment and not on your pet. What you may be seeing is lice or lice eggs. Frontline is only effecting against chewing lice but it does not treat sucking lice or lice eggs. Also, if you will be bathing toffy, bathe him prior to applying frontline and not after as you may be washing away some of the product if bathing too soon after administering the frontline. Finally, if Toffy does have fleas, then you also need to treat your environment. This means you should spray your yard and home with insecticide and wash his beddings or where ever he sleeps 2-3 times weekly. Successfully treating a flea infestation may take about 3-4 weeks. Hope this helps and good luck.
