How to Prevent Fleas from Biting Your Pets
Your four-legged friends are vulnerable to fleas. However, you can protect them, both on your property and when you’re away, such as if you’re taking a walk or traveling. Some simple ways to do that include:
- Keeping your pet indoors. When you keep them inside if they’re not playing or walking, it will limit the contact your pet has with fleas, providing them with more protection.
- Bathe and brush them. This will remove any fleas that have latched onto your pets. When you bathe them, just make sure to rinse soap residue off, which can irritate their skin.
- Perform flea checks. If your pet is showing signs of irritation, like scratching or restlessness, look for signs of fleas. Bites are usually small, red, raised dots.
- Don’t let your pet come in contact with strays. They can often carry fleas that can then infest your own pet.
- Talk to your veterinarian. If you proactively treat your pet, you can provide protection against fleas, which can survive year-round.
