  • yeah, keep my great dane in water up to his neck for 15 min. ain't gonna happen. lol

  • Some Australian dingos have been known to walk backwards slowly into the ocean until just their snout is above the water. The fleas panic and move up the body and onto the snout where they finally jump off (not wanting to be submerged in the salt water). So instead of traumatising your pooch in the bathtub for 15 minutes, just take him for an enjoyable swim in the ocean.

  • This is how they buried Bin Laden but they said:

  • Monk22yrs cover your carpet with baby powder. Leave for a few hours or over night then vacuum. Worked for me!!!!!

  • it's amazing how easy it is to kill fleas when you throw them into plain water---i found out, but impossible it seems to kill the bastards in your carpet with all kind of natural ingrediants, and even a carpet shampooer with soap or lemon juice or vinegar in it.

  • @fanuvgod1 I agree, my dogs would jump out. Also, we don't have bath tubs here in Colombia, only showers, so any other natural suggestions?

  • Don't leave the "drowned" fleas on the animals body. Insects can be submerged in water for over 30 minutes and still live. They will appear to have drowned, but they are actually still alive. Once the water dries up, the insect will eventually revive. Salt water will kill fleas, and I have seen dogs that like to swim in ocean water, so the salt water shouldn't be harmful to the dog.

  • I have that same dog toy!...

  • Thats the best way to get rid of fleas. Good job. Drown those fuckers

  • he looks like a giant matt hardy!

  • will it work with kittens? i have four of them and the mama cat gave them fleas

  • what about the fleas crawling in his ears?~(i always put baby oil in the ears 1st~!!)
