Hallo what breed is Betty?
Anything collie should not be given Advocate it contains Ivermectin which collies can be sensitive too in some it can kill.
So will start with Betty I would give her nothing for anything better safe than sorry keep up with my spray and the garlic if you find worms you can use the blue cheese recipe which is in things to be kept.
I think Doug needs a few baths in sulfur soap it will help with his skin, I buy a bar and then grate it finely add some water give it a good shake and bath said dog.
Dogs will sometimes carry a flea home, or they are already moving in for winter so what I do is get a bag of Bicarbonate of soda sprinkle it all over your carpets round all skirting boards leave for half an hour and hoover up Bicarb is wonderful stuff you could even add it to the rinseing water when you bath Doug also if he has any sore spots make the bicarb into a paste and cover the bites with it, you can also use it as a grooming powder it will help keep the bugs away and will also clean any grease off your dogs coat.
I have never put chemicals in or on my dogs these are some of the things I use to keep them clean and healthy.
Hope this helps any questions just mail in to the board again I look in every day so will pick up your mail within 24 hours Good Luck
Val
PS Your carpets will come up a treat with Bicarb :ok:
