broken image

Fleas can be found anywhere and they are hardy creatures, too. Did you know tha tonly 5% of the flea population in your home environment lives in your pet and the rest live in your pet’s immediate surroundings. Thus, a good flea program should include not only medicating pets but also undertaking measures to get rid of the fleas in the environment. Flea collars and shampoos only work for a limited period of time, there is a need for a monthly preventative such as a spot-on treatment or flea tablet. In cases of heavy flea infestation, there may be a need to hire a professional pest exterminator to get rid of all the lifestages of fleas in your home and immediate surroundings.

Ask your Westminster, MD vet for an effective flea medication that you can safely use on your pet. More information here: https://mtairyvets.com/
