It’s where Lawn Doctor of Metro West and North Shore can help. We offer flea control tips and treatments to pet owners in Waltham, Peabody, Melrose, and nearby areas in MA. With our team, you can keep these parasites in check and away from your pets.
How to Prevent Fleas from Biting Your Pets
Pets, like dogs and cats, are highly susceptible to fleas. This is simply because fleas are parasites, looking for their next meal. When pets are left outdoors or allowed to roam around, fleas can often target and attack them. To protect your four-legged friends, make sure you:
- Keep pets inside. Rather than letting your pet sit in the yard, keep them outdoors if they’re not walking or playing. This will make them less vulnerable to flea bites.
- Regularly bathe and brush them. Even if you don’t see signs of bites, routine bathing and brushing will remove any fleas or eggs that have landed on your pet.
- Check for fleas. Also, regularly check your pet’s skin for bites. These are usually small, red, raised areas or can even be sores if a pet has been scratching at them.
- Avoid strays and wild animals. Don’t let your pets come in contact with stray or wild animals, which can be infested with fleas.
- Talk to your veterinarian. They can provide a treatment plan if your pet has a flea infection, as well as preventative medication to stop future bites.
