Fleas have plagued
pets and humans for centuries. They are responsible for
spreading illnesses and plagues and continue to make our lives
miserable.
Fleas suck the blood from our pets and in
severe infestations can actually make them anemic and kill
them. Fleas also contribute to secondary infestations of that
can also kill your pet and likewise be transmitted to humans.
Today there are many ways to prevent fleas and
from feeding off your pet and infesting your home both
naturally and with topical chemical treatments. Every dog is
different and what works best without causing a harmful reaction in
one dog might not work for another. Therefore, please discuss
treatments with your veterinarian and thoroughly investigate the
treatment you choose prior to administering it to you pet.
Just because a product is labeled "natural" or
sold in a store or veterinary office does not make it safe for every
pet. There can be severe adverse reactions to these
products including death of the treated animal. Also, never
combine treatments such as bathing the pet in flea shampoo and then
administering a flea treatment.
