Flea controlQ: We have a mix primarily lab dog that is allergic to fleas. he has a flea problem, and we went on vacation and we now have fleas all through the house. can you tell me a good product for the dog and something to use to control the flea problem in the house? A: The control for fleas is a three prong attack. you need to treat the outside environment, your household, and then a product for your pet. capstar will kill the fleas that are currently on your lab within a couple of hours. you need to apply frontline plus monthly to control the fleas on your pet. we recommend using a fogger indoors following the instructions on the label, and spraying or using a granular product for out doors.
