Fleas

Fleas are the most widespread external parasite for pet owners worldwide. Fleas not only annoy dogs and people but can carry disease and cause other health problems. Fleas carry tapeworm, cause an allergic skin condition in dogs called Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD) and are carriers of infectious agents. Fleas may also cause secondary skin infection and anaemia in puppies, older and also immuno-suppressed dogs. Severe infestations may even lead to death. 

Flea-related diseases account for over 50% of skin disease cases reported to veterinarians. The vast majority of these conditions could be prevented by the regular use of a fast, effective flea treatment. 

The Advantage of fast flea control.

Some flea control products rely on various methods of breaking the flea life cycle at egg or larval stage.  It can take months before any effects are seen during which adult fleas can continue to feed on your pet - or even you.

Diagnosis


Flea infestation is not always visible to dog or cat owners, particularly in pets with low flea burdens. The use of a fine-toothed comb, called a flea comb, can help to pick up fleas out of the coat and aid in removing particles of flea excreta. Additionally, examination of the debris left on the floor under your pet with a handheld magnifying lens may reveal the oval white eggs of fleas as well as dark flea droppings.
