Glad to hear you found a forever home for your friend's dog. Sorry to hear about the fleas. The best non toxic way I have found to get rid of fleas takes a bit of work, but can be done successfully. You can get food grade ( very important that it is food grade) Diatomaceous earth and sprinkle it on carpets and furniture Lots of vacuuming ( and changing the bag/emptying the canister every time). Washing any bedding where dog slept. and vacuum, vacuum vacuum. I included a link below on how to best use the diatomaceous earth. Good luck.

And forget about the foggers because they don't really emit a "fog" which penetrates every little place.

Thanks! Now, off to find food grade diatomaceous earth! Is it safe for hardwood floors? We seem to find the most fleas on the hardwood floors...

The fleas will lay eggs in the carpets and upholstered, where the babies live and grow. You need to get these before they turn into the biting reproductive adults.

Dust a bit of the diatomaceous earth along the baseboards of the hardwood floors and sweep it under the baseboards to get them where they live.

BEFORE you vacuum, vacuum up a bit of any pyrethrum-based insecticide. Then vacuum the carpets, and along baseboards, and in the crevices of furniture. After vacuuming, vacuum up a bit more insecticide, then seal and discard the bag. This stuns them and removes them from your house permanently.

A steam cleaner can also kill them in upholstery seams.

Did a quick google search for it just for curiosities sake.

Mostly on-line ads, but Home Depot had some food grade for $11.

can someone help me, please? I need to give my dog some Benadryl for allergies. I know I can give 1 mg per l of weight. the problem is, my dropper is calibrated in ml. an d I don't know how to convert mg. & ml. Would really appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks.

This should help
