No, you need to use a treatment supplied by a vet - and please understand if you sea a flea on an animal that is only a female feeding, the majority of the flea population is actually in the animals beading. Therefore it is no use just treating the animal you have to treat you house and the animals beading too.....a vacuum cleaner is the best defence against fleas - hoover and clean daily and wash/replace the animals beading regularly.

∙ 12y agoI would think the pesticide in human lice shampoo would be much too harsh for a dog. Dawn dishwashing liquid will kill every flea on your dog, just don't use it too often because it strips most of their skin oil too. Make sure it is Dawn because other dishwashing liquids do not work (I do not know why).
If you spray all the flooring in your home and the underside of furniture cushions with 2 cans of Bengal Flea & Tick spray, that will also help kill any fleas that jump off your dog.....and that spray works all season long.
