My Dachhund is 4 and has been on Nexguard for the past couple of years which worked fine but it started causing her some problems....nervousness...itchy skin...irritability..she just wasn't her self so I took her off of it a couple months ago and she is back to normal. My question is what do y'all use or recommend for flea treatment for small inside dogs? She is an inside dog but goes out several times a day for bathroom trips and walks.

Watching....my moms weenie dog is getting them too. My mom with dementia wont leave his flea collar on him.

Lots of products out there. Nexgard is a good one, but it is well documented that it can decrease the seizure threshold in dogs with seizures, or allow seizures to break through in dogs that have never shown seizure activity. Advantage Multi is a topical that is heartworm, intestinal worm,and flea preventative.I like it, use it on my dog. Doesn't do ticks, however. This is not usually a problem for inside predominant dogs.

Thank you sir.....I may give that a try. I like the idea of a topical instead of a pill.

We use Simparica for both of my Springer Spaniels. It is by prescription though.

I dip my dogs in Permethrin after I dip my outdoor work cloths every month or so. Get the stuff they have at the co-op because it water base and animal safe. Never had an itch problem.

And it will kill the hell out of fleas. The issue is that 90% of your flea problem isn't on your dog.
