Preventing Fleas and Ticks on Dogs?

I have been seeing fleas on my dogs. Even though they are bathed regularly, fleas and ticks are still there. Any sugestions on how to remove and avoid them? Thanks.

Despite your best efforts, your dog can still get fleas and ticks. Make sure you lawn is mowed, rake up leaves and keep shrubs trimmed. You can also go to your garden center and see what will repel opossums, coyotes, raccoons, and skunks, and untreated cats and dogs. They can deposit flea eggs into your yard.

You do not say if you have a personal yard area or if you are using any flea and tick medications so some of the suggestions may not apply to your problem.

Fleas are a big problem but ticks are even more so. Ticks can carry several different diseases that can be a problem for pets and humans.
Hopefully your veterinarian would give you some information on flea and tick control as well as recommending a monthly flea and tick control medication.
Some people use something like 20 Mule Team Borax or Diatomaceous Earth (food grade only) to sprinkle around their house to kill and control fleas.

Here are a couple of sites that give some instructions on control but you will have to apply it to your own home environment.
