Fleas are annoying little creatures that can severely impact your dog’s quality of life if they’re dealt with immediately. There are over 2,500 types of fleas, and they typically come from other infested animals. Fleas reside in areas near long grass or bushes and can survive without blood for up to 3 months. When a host such as a cat or dog passes by, the fleas are able to easily latch onto the host and begin feeding. If you’re wondering how you can tell if your pet is affected by fleas, then look for the following signs:
The best way to avoid fleas is through prevention. For a pet that has yet to contract fleas, talk to your veterinarian about flea medication that they can take. For a pet that already has an infestation, then you will need to take more aggressive action. You can take a flea pill or other medication that will kill the fleas very quickly. Also be sure to wash all the pup’s sheets and any other clothing and bedding in hot soapy water to get rid of any remaining larvae, eggs, and adult fleas.
One of the best ways to detect fleas and other skin irregularities early is by making sure your pet gets frequent grooming. Professionals will be able to see and detect fleas and any eggs while cleaning the pet’s fur. Early detection will allow you to take quick and immediate action to make sure the infestation doesn’t spread further and cause additional irritation to your pet.
