Can MMS be used against fleas on pets? If not, any suggestions for flea treatment would be greatly appreciated!

I would consider diatomaceous earth. Fleas are too "big" - MMS works at the pathogen/cellular level.

For safetys sake use food grade and do not inhale it or get it in your eyes. Same for the dog. Otherwise, it is great stuff. I use it for fleas on dogs and cats all the time. I even dust the cat food with it.

I have a big yard and too many fleas. Diatomaceous earth works, but the fleas jump on my dog faster than I can kill them with it. Friday I ordered a herbal treatment from Pawhealers.

The good news is i combed my cat thoroughly with a flea comb and she doesn't have any fleas!
She has just been scratching a lot so maybe it's just dry skin, however my dad treats his dog with advantage :dry: and i'm going to suggest the Diatomaceous earth!

Thank you all!

To get rid of fleas in your home etc:
Put tray of water on the floor with soap in it.
Hang a light about one and one half feet above it.
Turn the light on when you go to bed at night and turn off in the morning.
Check to see if you've caught anything.
Do it til there are no more fleas.
I've used this many times and it really works!
...also diatomaceous earth can be sprinkled over the carpets and later vacuumed, but I don't know how long. I am leery of this though because of the potential to breathe the the sharp fine particles.
I have also put cedar oil sprinkled around perimeter of my bed sheet when they were biting me at night.
