The Vetguard plus contains a product that is not good for killing fleas, so it makes sense why you are still seeing them. The Petarmor is a totally different product, so it's safe to use and has ingredients that are good at killing fleas. I'd recommend trying that product and seeing how it goes. The fleas should all be dead after 3 days. I hope that helps and you get this problem under control soon.

Yes, you can certainly give Luna a dose of Capstar after applying Pet Armour Plus. The Capstar should kill adult fleas quickly, but will not provide lasting prevention against maturing larvae and eggs. Pet Armour should be able to provide this prevention for the remainder of the month. However, when Luna is due for another dose of flea prevention next month, I would instead recommend using a higher quality product, such as Nexgard, Bravecto, or K9 Advantix II, as I tend to find these products more effective. I hope this helps and that all goes well!

You listed Ruger's age as 12 days, and if that is the case your options are pretty limited. I am guessing though that you meant 12 lbs, and the average German Shepherd puppy would be about 8 weeks old if they weighed 12 lbs. If that's the case you have many more oral and topical options. I often recommend Nexgard, but your veterinarian may have a product that is preferred in you area. You probably need something that will kill fleas quickly, and you may also need to vacuum and bomb your house again. I'd recommend contacting your vet.
