Prevent Fleas with Flea Treatment

The common flea has a life cycle with four stages which makes the controlling of fleas on your dog or cat a complicated process if you let it get out of hand. If you have a flea infestation you have to be able to tackle all four stages so the best policy is one of prevention rather than cure.

Using Flea Treatment Products

To use flea treatment safely less is often more. Flea treatment involves disserting medication or chemicals to your pet and there using too much can be detrimental to your pet's well being. It is essential to follow the directions laid down by the manufacturer and use those that are appropriate for the species and weight of the animal. Cats can be particularly sensitive to substances used in flea treatment so choose one that is well respected and designed for them such as Frontline spot on for Cats.

Flea collars work either by producing a gas toxic to fleas or by being absorbed into the subcutaneous fat on the animal's body. The latter can be effective when killing adult fleas and it's also a good idea to put a flea collar in the vacuum cleaner to kill fleas there.

Spot-on treatments are those most highly recommended by vets with Frontline being one of the top brands. Frontline flea treatment is administered by applying the drops between your pet's shoulder blades and can last up to a month.
