Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

Pets can get fleas not only from walking outside but also from sitting next to the screen door or window. In order to protect your pet from fleas, you should use flea control topicals such as Revolution, Vectra, Advantage, Frontline, etc. These medications will repel fleas so you don’t have to worry about your pet when you are on your morning walk, and they should be applied year round.

It’s also a good idea to groom your pet on a regular basis. It’s possible for them to have fleas and you not know it. Brush your pet on a daily basis and part the hair to ensure that fleas are not hiding. Give your pet a bath every couple weeks so you can inspect their skin while the hair is wet. It’s sometimes easier to look for black flea droppings.

Indoor flea sprays are effective for soft fabrics like carpeting and pet bedding. If your pet has brought fleas into the house, it’s important to treat your pet and home immediately. Vacuum the carpet daily to remove any flea eggs from the carpet. Don’t forget to empty the vacuum bag and dispose of it in the outside trash.
