How to naturally get rid of fleas?

I have a puppy. She's about 6 months old now. We got her from a place that I think had to be a puppy mill. I've taken her to the vet repeatedly for ear problems, worms, and even a case of parvo. Anyway, I can't seem to get rid of the fleas. I've tried a natural flea shampoo, and it works to get rid of them for the time being, but they always come back. We have two other dogs, and they never had a problem before and now they do. I really don't want to use Frontline because I don't think it's probably good for her.

Use Frontline to get rid of them and quickly, fleas can cause so many more serious problems, that it is worth the risk. I give my dogs 4 brewers yeast tablets daily and a garlic pearl, this is a more natural way to stop then getting fleas, worms and ticks that you can use all the time.(but get rid of them first) and don't forget to treat carpets, soft furnishings and her bed where flea eggs have been laid otherwise she will continue to be infested as will your other dogs. Buy some Lactol (or similar) puppy/kitten milk (from the pet shop) it is a powder you mix with water, it has all the vitamins, minerals and trace elements young pups need to build her up to be strong and healthy, and its great for old dogs or dogs who are off their food. I use a cloth dripped in 50% white vinegar and 50% warm water to clean ears, the vinegar kills mites and removes wax and baby wipes are good to clean ears with. You need to build her immune system, lots of lead walking will stop her getting anxious, deplete her energy and build her up and call in at the butchers a couple of times a week and get your dogs some fresh bones, that will help with teething, chewing relieves anxiety and she will love you for them. Neem oil is also very good it is a Natural repellent for :- * Fleas * Ticks * Mites (Skin and Ear) * Flies * Mange * Lice Natural Healing aid :- * Minor Cuts, Grazes, broken Skin * Skin Irritations * Itching (Insect bites or Allergies) * Sore or Cracked Pads * Worms * Digestive Upset * Arthritis * Arrythmia * Hair Loss
