Hello everyone please can I have no negative or nasty comments π€
So ive had 6 dogs come in with fleas in the last 7 working days
I'm going to try help and give advice where I can π€
Things to look out for are the obvious scratching and biting more, places to check are around their neck, shoulder blades and the base of their tail, I know fleas can be difficult to see depending on the dogs coat but look out for flea dirt this looks like tiny black specs of dirt like the picture below
I'll recommend below what I use or find affective πΎ
I know vets charge a consultation fee for fleas so can be expensive, frontline is available on amazon these go off the dogs weight
Small 2kg-10kg
Medium 10kg-20kg
Large 20kg-40kg
Extra large 40kg+
1 treatment last for 1 month
Treating the home acclaim is great and also available on amazon, shake well spray around the room and leave for 30 minutes before airing and hoovering, this says it treats the home for 12 months
Wash dog bedding, throws blankets on a 60Β° wash, anything less than this won't kill any fleas or eggs
I hope any of this helps πΎπ€
If you have found another treatment that works or natural remedies feel free to comment below, I know garlic is a natural flea repellent (does not kill fleas)
