Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You could try a medication called Capstar that tends to work rather quickly in killing fleas. This may help you get better control of the fleas while the other medications work. You can administer it daily until control has been achieved. This is usually quite effective. Good luck and have a great day!
