We bought an 8 week old Malipoo and she has fleas and eggs, because every time we kill them and then check her again she will have baby fleas. Will Dawn dishsoap kill the eggs too?

I agree with the first answer you got. However, trying to kill fleas outside is a pain, a real big one. You can choose to go buy a chemical spray for your yard, but I don't like chemicals. But, if you go to your local Walmart, Home Depot, etc...wherever they sell those chemicals, you can find those empty bottles that connect to your water hose for you to spray your own mixture. I have used that by mixing water and Dawn liquid dish soap, then spraying my yard with it. The only downfall to it is if you spray too much (using more soap) it will kill the grass too. Depending on how much soap you use determines how much of your grass dies. A small amount turns it awful brown, more than that can strip it down to just about dirt. But hey, you get to start fresh with no fleas, and it's as good as round up, so no more weeds either, just pretty grass. Hope this was helpful.
I'm trying to figure out the same thing. I live in Florida, which seems to be a breeding ground for mutant fleas. I have used every conventional method of getting rid of the buggers, including topical medications, two different types of name brand flea collars (including the Suresto Collar which worked for about 4 months), Shampoos, and now trying an oral medication that kills not only fleas, but treats heart, ring, and hookworms. Hopefully this will do the trick. I had been bathing my dog with Dawn with much success, for that day at least. I've bombed my house, washed all of my clothes and bedding, and spray all natural flea killer and repellent spray on my carpets and furniture, but the fleas are still eating up my poor puppy.
Will any type dish washing liquid work with vinegar?
People Dawn is SAFE for animals. Do your research. Have you never seen the commercials?? You can use it regularly on your cats, dogs, and many other animals. Just go get down for a dollar at Dollar Tree or WalMart. Leave it on them for like five minutes and then rinse it off.
Some types of Dawn contain ammonia, which is not safe for animals. Be sure to read the warnings on the back of the bottle to be sure.
