We've only had our pooch for 4 months and were going to treat him for fleas and worms but held back after a bout of D&V. In the past week he has started training classes and been to a home groomer to have his long fur trimmed to make him more comfortable in this heat. When he came home from the parlour his fur was very short and we spotted 2 fleas on him which we got rid of, then another a day later. This was last Monday. Today I was feeling ill and slept on the sofa and woke up with 7 bites on my waist. Last night DH was bitten on his ankle and on his neck. The dog sleeps on the bed when we are at work and is allowed on the sofa when we are home. We haven't seen any fleas since Monday. What can we do to reduce the risk of an infestation? Have treated him with Advocate (?) today and he's banned from the sofa. We've stripped the sofa and hoovered it. Any other tips?
