Pet owners love their four-legged family members. Many are considered part of the family. Fleas are something that cat and dog lovers both hate. They can end up infecting their pets and causing havoc.
“Protecting your dog from fleas is an important part of responsible pet care,”Caryn Sichler, vice-president of marketing for Sergeant’s Pet Care Products, said the following: “Fleas cause distress for pets, and can cause a condition called Flea Allergy Dermatitis.”
Fleas are able to live inside and outside the home. They can transmit tapeworms and cause skin irritation and itching. If your pet is trying to scratch certain parts of their body in a pretzel-like fashion, it could be an allergy to flea saliva.
Preventing an infestation is the best way to manage it. Regular baths for your pet, frequent vacuuming of furniture, rugs, and floors, will all help to end the cycle of fleas.
“It is important to start treatment before there is a flea problem,” says Stichler. “One or two fleas can quickly become hundreds of fleas on your pet, so treating fleas fast is important.”
