Frontline Flea Control Kills Fleas Quickly And Effectively

Many people love your cute little pet, but there are other things that love it as well. Flea and tick infestations can weigh your pet down, causing distress or more serious problems. Dogs, when allowed into nature will often pick up dog ticks, flea or other infestations.

Don't feel like you have to raise your pup in a bubble to keep them safe. Generally fleas and ticks are just a nuisance that can easily be treated.

However it should be noted that a flea infestation left to run riot may result in sores and bald patches, and can actually kill your pet if you are neglectful enough to let this problem get out of control.

When we take a close up look at the little creatures, we may find some surprises. There are actually many different types of fleas. Different pets have different species of fleas. The fleas generally can survive on any type of mammal (including humans!), but are unable to breed without their principal host. The female, being about 2.5 mm long, is of a larger size than the male.

Fleas are capable of jumping vertically for 5 or 6 inches (about 15 cm), and they can fasten themselves to skin or clothing. Fleas can quickly infest a residence by multiplying exponentially and can cause horrid living conditions.

But what will kill fleas? For a cat, a flea collar can be a useful way to get rid of fleas, but you may find a dip or a shampoo better for dogs. You need to choose an effective treatment for your particular pet.

With conscious animal care, fleas can be controlled. There are numerous treatments readily available to pet owners, and they work in a variety of ways.

If there is an obvious infestation, using a medicated shampoo is very effective immediately. However, it is a temporary solution as very little medication remains on the animal's coat. This method is best if you would like an immediate flea-free environment.

Dips are a little harsh though for routine care and for lesser infestations. In these cases flea medications such as powders and sprays can be used, giving protection for several days from not only fleas but also ticks.

The optimal solution is the use of Frontline Plus Flea and Tick Control, as it is the top choice for animal doctors in North America. Frontline Plus is the product I use and suggest for others due to its effectiveness and ease of use.
