Ugh, so sorry you're dealing with this! Our pug had fleas this summer for the first time in his six years. We ended up bombing the house with these foggers that are supposed to be 'no mess' and that did the trick. There was no residue or odor after we aired the house out for 2 hours.

Also, wash all your bedding/dog bedding. Vacuum your rugs, couch, etc... In case there are eggs!

First, wash everything the dog has come into contact. Second, vacuum vacumm vacuum. Third, see if your husband can give the dogs a flea dip bath. Fourth, put on oral flea medication, you may need to do weekly. Please keep in mind that the issue is you need to get rid of any "baby flea/flea eggs" that's why it's so important to clean clean clean.

Ugh. We had them recently, too. Definitely vacuum the house and wash the dog beds and your bedding if the dog sleeps there. Get some flea/tick on and then get a dose of comfortis, it's great for knocking them out. We had some fleas when we got home from our vacation. Thankfully there weren't a lot so we were able to get rid of them quickly.

By the way, we're going with the oral drug now, too instead of the stuff you put on their backs.

Fleas are so awful! Sorry you're dealing with this. My dog was on Frontline and she got them, too. I heard fleas and ticks are building up resistance to certain topical drugs. I gave her a dose of an oral med for just one month. They can be tough on digestive systems, and she had a sensitive stomach. I cleaned everything (look online how to do this--great tips) and then went back to Frontline--the fleas stayed away.

@maysprout: I can't remember if I used them both. I think it would be okay if you did though, since one is systemic and the other is topical. Comfortis is what we used.

I will also say that she didn't have an awful case. I saw them mainly on her belly. I didn't do an over the top cleaning, and we were okay.
