Had the best day yesterday meeting some wonderful dogs along with bonus cuddles with donkeys ❤️
I came away from Rosie and Finn with absolute joy in my heart.
To have listened to their background story of sheer abuse and betrayal of humankind and to see them now 20months on adjusting to life and learning not to fear, was the most rewarding.
Their owner has dedicated time...(hours and hours) to get them where they are, truly dedicated to give them the very best life that they so deserve. 🙏 Thank God we have good people to counteract the bad.

Let's talk fleas!

🪳 Ctenocephalides felis - cat flea
🪳 Ctenocephalides canis - dog flea
🪳 Most common flea found on the dog is the
cat flea.
🪳 Fleas have a 28day lifecycle - they live,
feed and breed on your pet all within
28days.
🪳 Eggs roll off your pet into the environment
and can live without hatching for 2 years -
then, when conditions are right (heating
turned on in the winter) they hatch out.
🪳 Cornwall is the perfect environment for
fleas - we have the perfect climate for
them to thrive.
🪳 Dogs and cats (in particular) can be
allergic to flea saliva, causing secondary
bacterial skin infections.
🪳 For every one flea you see on your pet,
there is a 100 more!

How to know if your pet has fleas?

✔️ If you haven't flea treated (veterinary product), the chances are your pet has fleas.

✔️ If your pet is itchy, scratching - could be an indication. (Especially if not normally an itchy dog/cat)

✔️ Flea combs may help pull out live fleas

✔️ White paper test (assuming your pet hasn't been bathed or in water for a couple of weeks) grab a piece of white kitchen roll, place under your pet and rigorously rub their coat, allowing the white kitchen roll to catch the falling debris. With a damp bit of cotton wool dab any black spots on the roll...if there is a red mark (like blood) on the damp cotton wool, or the kitchen roll then you can be sure you have flea dirt = fleas.

How can you treat?

❌ Don't waste your money on insecticidal shampoo from the pet shop.

❌ 100% Do not recommend that you buy products from a pet shop - they are NOT licensed to sell Prescription Only Medicines -V therefore the products have not gone through the rigorous testing and licensing to be deemed safe and effective!

✔️ Always buy your parasite treatment from the vets.

✔️ If your family members are getting bitten then its advised to treat the house, with a household spray (kills off live fleas and eggs in the environment - veterinary sprays will last for a year)

✔️ Treat both cats and dogs in the house +/- house environment (if a massive burden of)

✔️ Use the treatment as recommended (normally monthly)

✔️ Most vets now offer affordable preventative health plans for your pet which includes monthly flea treatment, wormers and vaccines - ask your vet about there's...most often send Reminders!

✔️ If you live near fields, commons or moors, then ask your vet for a flea and tick treatment.

**** If your pet is still itchy despite flea treatment then Veterinary advice should be sought *******

🪳 Once treated you may notice that your pet becomes even more itchy- this is normal...once the fleas take a bite (to get their blood meal!) They ingest the insecticidal..this causes a death frenzy where they suddenly frantically bite more before they die!
