Your pet can get fleas directly from another animal or from the environment.
The flea cycle is most active in the warm humid months, so fleas are worse in late Spring, Summer and Autumn.
Even if you cant see fleas on your pet that does not mean that their not present so you should routinely treat your pet against them. Many products that you buy off the shelf have limited effectiveness because they only work for a few hours after application particularly shampoos and powders so we would recommend that you use a prescription product which provides residual effectiveness for up to 6 weeks.
Pets that have fleas are at a high risk of getting tapeworms as fleas are carriers of these worms; a flea can easily be ingested from your pet while grooming their coat after which your pet will become infected with tapeworms. We would advise that all pets be routinely wormed every three months.
Call into our clinic where we will go through a routine dosing regime for your pet against fleas and worms.
