Cheap Flea Treatment
It's a well known fact that dogs have a pretty good chance of being inflicted with fleas at some point in their lifetime. Some will actually seem like they're a magnet for the small pests. That being said, there are some things you should know about flea control and what to look out for.
Fleas can typically be seen quickly moving over the dog's skin and are particularly partial to the base of the dogs tail and behind his ears. Flea droppings look like tiny bits of grit and are especially visible on the dog's belly.
Although there are a large number of different types of flea prevention products available from your VET I would suggest you to use a natural or "over the counter" flea treatment. A recent ASPCA warning has been issued to dog and cat owners regarding the type of flea and tick treatment currently being used. There have been an alarming number of dogs getting sick and dying! This leads to the entire industry being put under a microscopescrutinized, and rightfully so. Bear in mind that not only are the natural products safe but they usually significantly cheaper as well!
It's important that you should treat your home and car regularly in order to kill off the larvae or adult fleas. Fleas like heated areas so you need to pay extra attention to those parts of your home such as the carpet beneath the radiators,the living-room and the bedroom. Please remember to treat all pet bedding as well. If you only treat the animal and not its environment then you will be leaving all the eggs to hatch out and re-infect the animal all over again.
Canine fleas are quite indiscriminate and will infest a clean healthy dog just as much as the dirty neglected one. Flea bites can cause extreme irritation to the dog. Some dogs can also become allergic to the flea saliva which is injected into the skin every time the flea bites. As well as the irritation of the flea bite they are are also the intermediate host of the tapeworm.
Ages ago flea infestations were confined to the summer months but these days with more and more homes being centrally heated that is no longer the case. Fleas like warmth and will hatch their eggs in the gap between the skirting board and the carpet, between the floorboards, in the pile of fitted carpets and in the dogs bedding and basket.
After the baby flea eggs hatch the larvae stage can remain dormant for anything up to a year if the temp is not warm enough, before jumping onto the next passing host--perhaps your dog or worse you!--for a meal. Fleas do not live on the dog but simply use him as a source of food. They will live in your home and anywhere where the dog regularly goes, such as the car.
Only by paying close attention to flea control will you be able to ensure that your dog is kept clear of these prolific parasites. One of the best ways to prevent fleas from getting a hold in your home is to regularly use the vacuum cleaner.
