I usually take my doggie to a major chain store for grooming, and they always ask if he gets some type of flea n pest treatment. But I don't because he is a Bichon, I don't know if he would have an allergic reaction. Any suggestions please!!!!

Most flea treatments are full of toxic chemicals. So much so, that if your read the packaging, it says not to get on human skin!
Why should that not be harmful to our doggies, I ask myself.

If your dog has fleas try the natural treatment.

Add a scant teaspoon of brewers yeast from the health food store to the food. They like the taste and after a few days of eating it your dog creates a natural repellent for the fleas.

There are several natural shampoos that you can use. To prevent fleas from coming back, vacuum your house very often and wash you dog's bedding in hot water. That will kill the fleas.
