Canines and Fleas

Nobody likes fleas. They're fast moving, jumping parasites that feed on blood. There are over 2 400 species of fleas and just one female will produce 25 000 offspring over one month. Even though they survive through consuming blood, an adult flea can still survive for several months without a feed. Fleas can be difficult to keep under control. Like some parasites, they can genetically mutate to resist pesticides usually used to eradicate them and many of the products that are said to kill fleas, unless specified, do not destroy the eggs.  We have a number of treatments available that will kill both the fleas and their eggs (not all products work at killing both at the same time, even your dog's vet agrees! Dogs and fleas are never a nice mix

The dog flea product below is one such product that is naturally formulated to dissolve the waxy coating that protects fleas, eggs and larvae and fleas cannot become immune to its effects!  That means there's no chemicals and you can rest assure the fleas will not become immune to this treatment!

Fleago Natural Flea Control

Fleago Natural Flea Control

Rid your house of fleas with this non-toxic borate crystal salt that dissolves the waxy protective coating on fleas, eggs, and larvae. Because it's mechanical, fleas cannot become immune to its effects.


   One of the ONLY products fleas won't become immune to! Chemical-Free too!

SYMPTOMS THAT YOUR DOG HAS FLEAS

Generally speaking, if you see your dog having an unusual scratching session, your first thought should be your dog has fleas... Dogs don't scratch their head when they're thinking like humans do! :) Particularly, if you witness your canine itching and scratching on 's head, neck and ears, you should check for fleas. Flea dirt - unlike usual ground dirt because it's generally black and in slightly larger granules - is a usual sign of fleas. Most of the time you would find flea dirt on the rear of your dog's back, near the base of the tail and also the neck. Also hair loss around the head and neck area, usually due to both the fleas inhabiting this area, and your dog scratching it frequently, can also be a symptom.

Summarizing, the most common symptoms of fleas are:
- Itching head, neck and ears
- Flea dirt
- Hair loss on head and neck area

Fleas are a menace to canines, felines and also humans (trust us, if you don't realize your house has fleas, you'll begin to notice if your dog goes away for a week or two!). They cause allergic dermatitis tapeworms and anemia. Most flea eggs are lot laid on the dog but in the dog's bedding, rugs and on the furniture so it is important to treat the indoor environment in which your canine and even yourselves live.

CONTROLLING FLEAS

Removing fleas from your house and your canine is the best way to control the population of fleas in your dog's environment. Bathing your dog with a flea shampoo is a good way to remove fleas from the body of your canine. Vacuuming your carpets, furniture and dog's bedding daily will help control fleas in your household. We have carpet flea powder and spray available to purchase right now that's also highly effective on furniture and pet bedding and it kills BOTH FLEAS AND LARVAE. For the most of you, not having the time to put the powder down then vacuum it up, there are also household flea sprays and crystals available just to make things easier! Directly for your dog, however, there are a collection of ongoing and once-off treatments including flea control tablets (for both adults and puppies) and shampoo available.

Brushing your canine daily with a flea comb will not only help find them but also rid them from your dog.  Don't forget - combing your canine also stimulates natural oils which will also help the health of your dog's coat!  Also, dog combing is a great form of bonding and can be physically therapeutic!
