My dog has fleas and is still itching. Will Frontline Homegard help?

Does frontline homegard work well? IT seems to be the only thing available in Egypt, where I am living. I am dealing with early stages of flea infestation and trying to see what is best to do. I've put his bedding to wash, vaccumed carpet and couch area and applied Frontline spray yesterday (frontline spot on is not available here). I still see him itching. I will ask my vet here, but am wondering what you recommend I do? Any home remedies that have worked?

Frontline homegard can work well, I'd use it. Unfortunately home remedies do not work. The Frontline spray will be best until you can speak to your vet about flea treatment options available in Egypt.

The Frontline Spray may be irritating the dog's skin or the itching may be completely unrelated. I cannot tell you. Maybe he has an underlying allergy? Please be advised that Frontline spray only provides short term flea treatment (like 24 hours or less). The animals need monthly flea prevention with a product that lasts all month. I suggest you go to your local VETCO clinic (inside Petco) and consult with them about flea prevention for both the cat and the dog. Take the animals with you when you go or they won't be able to help you. ( https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/?zip=95348 )
