I use diluted Skin So Soft on my Chihuahua. Have done this for years and she is and has been absolutely flea free even though we have many squirrels in our yard. She is 17 and in good health so it certainly hasn't hurt her any. If your dog does have fleas now you can use any shampoo and keep it sudsy for at least 10 minutes to get rid of them.
