I didn't want to use chemicles on my chi, so I got the SHEDENDER
comb from Wal-Mart. It is only about $10. Everytime we go for a
walk, I comb her when we return to the house. If there is a flea on
her, the comb brings it to the top of her fur and I can pick it off
and crush it. So far it is working great. We even got a tick off
before it anchored onto her skin. When I see my Chi scatching a
spot, I get the comb and work on that spot and sure enough a flea
will appear and meet its death !!! My Chi loves to be combed and I
love the excess fur coming off then and not on my clothes later.

apply every other month or sometimes even every 3 months........

I did hear one person who said their chi was allergic to it. Also,
be careful not to use any flea product on a pregnant dog.
