Do you know how far a flea can jump? Do you know that some of them can live on humans? Do you know that they can hatch their eggs long after you’ve got rid of the actual fleas? Are you itching already becuase of reading this post? I am, and i’m trying to help you avoid all these things…
In the summertime there is nothing more annoying on your dog than fleas, and if you don’t properly treat them they will drive you and your dog up the wall. A flea bite doesn’t always happen to a dog you know, they like to bite into us humans too, and they feed off your blood. Nasty little suckers aren’t they?
You can do something about it though, and there are literally hundreds of flea treaments out there on the market these days. You owe it to your dog and yourself to get the best one possible. Personally i don’t touch the collars or the powders; they never seem to work. The best ones i’ve ever found are the ones that are added to the skin on the back of the dogs neck (so they can’t lick it). These treatment get absorbed into the skin and spread around your dog quickly.
The beauty of these treatments is that wherever the dog goes they spread their treament too and fleas (and their eggs) are destroyed almost instantly.
