Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. I would recommend using a fly repellent collar such as ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/fly-free-zone-natural-fly-repellent-dog-collar ). For the ears, you can apply Sentry Wound Ointment, which can also be found at PetCo. If the ears do not improve, I would recommend having a veterinarian examine him so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

You can mix organic, raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar in equal parts with water and spray lightly on the pups. Also, remove any stool, food or anything else that may attract flies to the area. Use a fly trap or "fly bag", purchased from any hardware store or home improvement store, to draw flies away from the area and trap them.

I do not recognize this type of fly but it is likely a house fly or stable fly. I'm not sure the species you have in your country. Flies do not "infest" dogs but they can bite them. Advantix is more broad spectrum and I do think it would be best to switch to it. I would not be worried though. Flies will not transmit disease but they can bite and cause irritation.

Unfortunately fleas only hop on the body of your pet when they want to feed, then they hop off again and stay in your pet's environment. So you need to treat all pets in the household as well as the environment (which contains the fleas, their eggs and larvae). Flea treatment: 1) Get some flea medication such as a Flea spray or a spot on from a pet shop or your veterinarian and apply monthly 2) get flea powder, put some in your vacuum cleaner bag and vacuum your house and furniture and also non-carpeted areas frequently to remove flea larvae and eggs which live off house dust., Dispose of the bag in the trash outside. Hot-wash all the pet's bedding, If you do this diligently for a few months you will get rid of the fleas. The best flea products: Spot-ons: Advantage, Advantix Advantage Multi (Advocate in the UK) Frontline (ticks as well) Bravecto spot on (ticks as well) - for cats, in tablet form for dogs Revolution (stronghold in the UK) Tablets: comfortis (will only kill fleas once)
