Please help! Dog has fleas, used Hartz shampoo and topical. She is fine but I want to switch her to something new ASAP after reading all the horror stories.

Hi there,

I picked up some Hartz flea/tick shampoo (https://www.hartz.com/product/hartz-ultraguard-rid-flea-tick-shampoo-for-dogs-citrus-scent/) and topical drops (https://www.hartz.com/product/hartz-ultraguard-dual-action-topical-for-dogs-puppies/) when I first adopted my dog. Have been giving her the topical treatment for 2 months and she has been fine. She's about 2 years old and 30ish pounds.

We took her to visit family and when we came back, noticed a few fleas on her. We gave her a bath with the shampoo and re-applied her topical preventative, and of course AFTERWARDS I go online and start reading all these terrible things about the brand. She seems totally normal (we bathed her about five hours ago), but I definitely want to get her on something less potentially harmful and more effective.

My main question is, what can I give her ASAP to make sure we take care of the fleas that won't react poorly with the Hartz treatment? I would like to get her on Capstar, Frontline, and then use a spray around my house, but I can't really find anything about if it's safe to do so since we just gave her the Hartz. Should we give her another bath to get the Hartz off? I'm so stressed since I fell into such a horror story hole. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
