Text Box: Flea Control

Does my pet have fleas?

 

The most common sign of fleas is scratching!  Particularly around the base of the tail.  However even if your pet is not scratching, if you are not using regular flea control, your pet most likely will have at least some fleas.

 

 

How can I most effectively treat my pet for fleas?

 

The easiest way to treat your pet for fleas is with one of the top spot treatments we sell.  These products only require a few drops of liquid placed on the skin between the shoulder blades.

It is important to treat your pet all year round to ensure that the flea population does not build up in your environment, causing a population explosion once the weather warms up in spring.

It is also advisable to treat your environment (carpet, bedding, furniture etc) with either a target spray or flea bomb.
