Dog Flea and Tick Prevention & Medication

  It's never been easier or safer to control fleas and ticks, for the pets and owners.

If you have ever experienced flea infestation, I empathize with you. We had just moved into our new construction pet-free home, and we had fleas. The jumping up on our legs from the carpet & the fleabites creeped me out.

The ultimate answer was to fogger bomb the entire house. From that day forward, I vowed to take prevention against fleas & ticks should we ever raise fur kids.

How to eliminate existing flea infestation in your home.
Indoors: You are looking for the warm spots where the activity thrives.

  1. Remove & launder blankets and bedding, including the pet's area.
  2. Vacuum draperies, all flooring, throw rugs, and furniture. This includes the pet's bed & your sofa cushions.
  3. Use powders, sprays, or foggers to remove the fleas and prevent flea eggs from hatching.

Outdoors: Fleas & ticks may be lurking in your yard and kennel areas. Use Yard and kennels sprays.

Bath time for the pet. Use flea shampoo and a flea comb. But that’s just part of the story, next step is prevention.
