Fleas on a dog can be removed with topical parasite treatments containing fipronil, selamectin, and similar ingredients; during treatment, put an Elizabethan collar on the dog to prevent it from licking the medicine and being poisoned. If the infection is severe, you can shave the dog and bathe it 3 days after treatment to ensure fleas and eggs are removed.
In addition, fleas like to hide in hidden places such as dog beds and carpets, so keep the indoor environment clean and sun the carpets and beds in sunlight.
