A flea infestation can be a troublesome situation, however common they may be amongst cats and dogs. They are both worrying and inconvenient to both pets and their owners. The worrying part may escape pets though, as more often than not they’re too preoccupied with the infuriating itching, scratching and biting to attempt to relieve the irritation. This can create additional problems with skin conditions and allergies leading to open sores that may require additional treatment.
Why are fleas making life hell for my pet and how long are they here for?
To put it bluntly, fleas have no desire to make life harder for your cat or dog. It is simply in their nature to latch on to the nearest pet and feed by sucking their blood. It doesn’t matter how big or small, clean or dirty, nor old or young your pet, when fleas spot the next available cat or dog, they aren’t too fussy. Contrary to popular belief, no matter how much your cat or dog bites them, fleas do not simply ‘go away’ unless an effective treatment is applied.
It could be so easy for a new cat or dog owner to cross their fingers and hope to never come across an infestation problem, and deal with the problem when and if it arises. However, it’s much more simple and effective solution is to apply safe and harmless monthly flea treatments during bath times to ensure minimal infestation.
Recommended and trusted treatments from Frontline for Dogs and Furminator are excellent choices to ensure your pet is kept safe and sound from flea infestations. By simply applying the pipettes to the surface of the skin, the treatment is spread throughout the coat over a course of 24 hours, ensuring fleas are kept out of sight. Applying the pipettes once per month will ensure a thick coat and healthy flea-free skin.
