Things You'll Need
- Flea shampoo
- Water
- Flea comb
- Pure, sterile mineral oil
- Cotton balls
Instructions
Read the shampoo directions carefully.
Plug the dog's ears with cotton balls and dab a tiny bit of pure, sterile mineral oil into her eyes.
Wet the dog's fur thoroughly so you can work up a good lather.
Work the shampoo into your dog's fur, starting at the head. The fleas may begin to move to your dog's head, so apply the shampoo in a circle around the dog's head and neck first. Work up a good lather. You may need to add more water to get a good lather going.
Thoroughly work the suds through the dog's coat, separating the fur as much as possible as you allow the shampoo to get down to the skin. Use a flea comb to remove fleas as you go. Keep the shampoo out of the dog's eyes. Leave the shampoo on for 10 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly.
Repeat the process in 2 weeks to make sure you have gotten all the fleas.
