Answer :

Our big Great Pyrenees was trouble enough with all his thick white fur. A few times we had to clip down his hair completely just to get through it. He looked silly but was much happier. The one time they kept coming back, we clipped him down, gave him a thorough bath, combed through all his hair, and bombed the shit out of the house. Bada bing, bada boom. No fleas.
