Joy Dish Soap for Dogs

RE: Front Line Post By Patricia (Guest Post) (10/20/2008) Front Line has not worked for my dogs this year either. I have used this for about 3 years and it has always worked except for this year. I will not buy it any more.

Someone please help me fleas are the most nasty biting creaters you could have in your house and on your pets. Hate the summer and the bugs that the summer brings alone with its warm weather!

Joy or Dawn will kill fleas that are already on the dog, but will not stop new fleas from getting on your dog or kill the new ones that get on your pet. You must rewash the dog to kill those. A once-a-month treatment will kill the fleas on the dog and continue to work for about a month; they must be used regularly to be the most effective. They do not stop new fleas from getting on pets either, just kill the ones that bite the pet. To keep fleas from getting on pets, you must treat the environment the pet goes into. Some of these treatments work better than others for specific breeds of pets--animals are a lot like people, nothing works for everyone. And pets build up a tolerance to them, so one might quit working and you'll have to change to another. Fleas are a pain, but once you find something that works for your pet, it is magic.

So now with lots of vacuuming (daily), and with six months of Program, she's okay again. Consider how much underfluff is under your dog's outer coat!

BUT...I tried it and it works so much better. It also protects from mosquitos and Frontline DOES NOT... Mosquitos carry diseases for dogs not to mention are pesky and itchy. Do make sure you get the right weight size. If your weight is borderline, go up....

This year the frontline didn't work on one of the dogs, vet said she had built up an immunity to frontline. Told me to use Dawn or Joy, will be trying that this weekend.

Worked! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Joy Dish Soap for Dogs Post by starxmn (14) | (07/19/2007) Profile | Contact My vet said to mix the lemon Joy with baby shampoo. One part Joy to two parts baby shampoo. I tried this when my dogs got fleas a couple years ago and it worked like a charm. The baby shampoo cuts the harshness to their skin and doesn't dry it out like the plain Joy dishwashing liquid would do.

It will keep the ticks and fleas off the animal. It is a bit expensive but cheaper than having to put up with the fleas and constantly treating your home.
