Fleas are an ever-present threat that pet owners need to constantly be protecting their pets from. These tiny parasites can make your furry friend terribly itchy and miserable. They also spread dangerous diseases, and can transmit other parasites.
Here are some ways to protect your pet. Parasite control products are your first, and most powerful, weapon. You can choose from many different options, such as topical drops, powder, shampoos, and other products, so ask your vet for specific advice. Vacuuming regularly can also go a long way towards biting infestation. It’s also important to wash your pet’s bedding regularly. Use hot water and unscented detergent. Proper landscaping techniques can also help. Keep your grass short, trim shrubs back, and pick up fallen produce or anything else that may attract deer or other parasites. It’s also best to keep bird feeders away from the house.
