Flea allergies?

I have a 1.5 year old mutt. He has chow, husky, lab and bulldog in him and he was also the runt. I know bulldogs are known for skin issues and allergies. He scratches constantly and no matter what we do we can't seem to get him any relief. He is in a grain free pork diet, we use all natural everything on him. I just can't get rid of these fleas! His chow/ husky fur makes combing him completely useless, I can see the flea and comb it over and over and it just won't come! We bathe him to kill them off, and hours later they are back full force. we have done sprays, topical, powders, pills, shampoos, oils. We treat the house. And still we just can't get rid of them! Help!

Are you using a flea comb to capture those fleas as you brush him? A flea comb works best as other combs won't do the job. Also, consider that the fleas you see is only the tip of iceberg, you also need to treat the environment, but need to use products that kill all the stages of larvae, eggs and all and keep using them on a routine basis. What topical product are you using?
