Your Dog and Fleas
If you own a dog, you will at some point need to deal with fleas; even the best kept dog is likely to catch fleas at some point. It is better to treat your dog with flea prevention products that stop fleas from laying eggs, rather than end up trying to deal with possibly hundreds of larvae around the house. Fleas thrive in warm conditions and it used to be the case that fleas would be most prominent in the summer times, but as homes are often kept warm and toasty, fleas can be constant all year round.
The 3 stages of flea control
1. Your Pet
You can treat your pet with a range of flea drops, flea shampoos, aerosols, pump sprays and powders. Fleas don't just make your dog itch they also transmit tapeworms as well; so it is important to treat your dog for both fleas and worms.
2. Your Home
It is important to remember that if your dog has fleas you must treat any other cats and dogs in the house as well. You must also treat your pet's bed and the dog house, as this is where most of the flea eggs will be. Pay particular attention to dark crevices, such as skirting boards, behind radiators and floor boards as eggs accumulate in cracks. Use household flea sprays and carpet flea powders to help reduce the risk of re-infestation.
3. Future prevention
Flea collars, used with a flea and grooming comb can protect your pet from adult fleas for up to 5 months. Use flea treatments that kill fleas fast before they have a chance to lay eggs. Carpets and soft furnishings should be treated periodically with a suitable household treatment and vacuumed regularly paying special attention to grooves, cracks and baseboards. Your dogs bedding should be washed regularly.
