Having a pet means having to deal with fleas. Fleas will invade your home even
if you and your pets are clean. Thats why its important to act promptly; dont
ignore the situation ” if you see fleas, take action! It’s a fact that
fleas can survive on human blood for several weeks so it’s within your very best
interests to make sure that your home is free of fleas.
Dog Flea Prevention: Here are some ideas for dog flea prevention and cat flea
prevention too. Firstly, clean your house, vacuum everywhere – upholstery,
cushions, linen etc. and dispose of the vacuum cleaner bag each time. Secondly
clean the areas where your pets spend time both inside and outside your
house.
Frontline & Advantage Flea For Dogs: Thirdly make an
appointment to see a vet in order to get your pet examined for fleas and to
learn what flea products for dogs are available.
Your veterinarian will
probably suggest Advantage or Frontline flea killer for dogs. The Frontline
brand is first, but the Advantage flea treatment for dogs is the second most
effective flea destroyer on the market.
Flea Medicine: Fleas can be very
irritating to your dog, but left untreated they become a problem for the whole
family. If you protect your dog by giving him flea treatments every four weeks,
fleas won’t be able to reproduce on him, and he won’t get any new fleas,
either.
Flea Control Medicine: Modern flea-control treatments like
Advantage by Bayer are easy to use, mess-free, long lasting, and safe for your
pet. While allergic reactions are not common, if a brand isn’t suitable for your
pet for whatever reason, there are many other effective brands to pick from.
Many of these will also rid your pet of any ticks and other bothersome
parasites.
Fleas can be brought into your home by visiting pets; be sure
to focus on your home each time the visitor comes and goes. Give the house
another thorough cleaning. Dont forget to wash the corners and the most common
areas in which the pets play and sleep. Take time to shampoo the carpets.
Lastly, investigate all possible culprits involved in carrying the fleas in.
Have you noticed any stray animals lately? Has an uninvited guest ever
let itself in through your doggie door? Make sure to stay up to task with the
housework and your chosen flea solution, because it is easy for these visitors
to bring their little friends along with them.
Like most vets, I strongly
recommend Advantage dog flea medication, and am confident that is one of the
best products on the market for safely killing fleas on dogs and cats.
