Fleas and Ticks


As a pet owner, I understand the importance of regular flea treatment for my dogs, Penny and Kipper. While it may seem like a simple task to administer a tablet wrapped in tasty chicken, the thought of forgetting to treat them and the potential hassle it could cause is concerning. Fleas can be a significant nuisance for pets and their owners alike. These pesky insects can cause a range of health and skin problems for our furry companions. As a responsible pet owner, it is important to be aware of the symptoms of flea infestation and take action immediately. Symptoms such as flea dirt, which appears as black specks near the tail that turn purple in water, or excessive scratching by your pet may indicate a flea infestation. In such cases, it is important to administer a suitable flea treatment, which can be obtained from your vet or pet store (although the latter may not be as effective). Treating your pet for fleas is only half the battle. It is equally important to treat your home by washing your dog's bedding and blankets and using a flea bomb to eliminate any existing fleas and eggs in your home. Regular flea, tick, and worming treatment is vital throughout the year, even in winter months, to ensure your furry friends remain healthy and happy, and your home remains free of fleas. By doing so, you can enjoy a stress-free and happy environment with your beloved canine companions.
