An adult flea can lay 50 eggs per day and around 2000 in her lifetime. People are often unaware of the fact that when you see fleas in the household or on your pets, they are only 5% of the flea population in your home. An egg hatches after 1-10 days into a larva, the larvae take 5-15 days to weave a cocoon into which they climb and become pupae, the pupae can take anything from a couple of days to a few months to hatch out, they wait to sense a host nearby.
It is important to treat all your pets in the household with an effective and safety tested flea product, we appreciate this can be expensive, but we see so many dogs and cats which have been treated with “over the counter” parasite products from shops because they are cheaper, the truth is these products are often ineffective and owners then end up spending more money buying a second product for use from the vets and something to treat the house with.
Why not consider spreading the cost of year-round parasite control for your pets, into convenient monthly instalments with our health plan? If you are interested speak to any of our team who can help you.
