Today for “Grooming Topics”: Fleas
A flea is a tiny little bug that bites down on our pets, like a angry little vampire, and leaves them itching and uncomfortable. It is frustrating and time consuming to get rid of fleas, for your pets and your home. The best way to keep this from being a problem is to prevent it by using something like “Frontline”, or a flea collar.
When you are brushing your pet down, please keep an eye out for little black specs or movement in the fur. If you are unsure how to take care of this issue, you can always check online or call your veterinarian for advice.
The most common way of taking on this issue is washing them with a flea bath soap. This has to be a thorough application, leaving almost nowhere for those little bugs to hide. Once done and dry, it’s time to use a “flea comb” to carefully go through the fur and brush out any remaining fleas.
However easy a bath can be- the bigger problem remaining is looking into the pet’s immediate environment. If you have a pet covered in fleas in your home, you have to check your home for fleas and treat each room, each piece of furniture, and any clothing your pet may have been in contact with. Fleas can be a problem for any warm-blooded animal, including us humans, and those bites are no joke!
“If your dog has fleas you will want to do something about this as soon as possible to prevent getting fleas all over your home, your other pets, and you!”
