The Perfect Solution To Stop Fleas, Ticks And Lice On Dogs - Frontline Spot On Flea Drops

Ticks, Fleas and Lice are regular pests that can be a real annoyance in our dogs' lives; they can cause discomfort and sometimes spread diseases to our pet dog.

Ticks not only look awful but are a real nuisance and they can transmit diseases. They are small spider looking insects that bite into the dogs skin to feed on the blood, they grip themselves firmly in and will not budge until they have finished their feed which may be hours, a few days or could even be for a few months. What is so bad about the ticks is that they are carriers of diseases and ticks can transmit diseases to dogs within hours of being attached, so the best thing is always prevention and protecting your dog against them.

Fleas are similar to ticks in the way that they feed on the dog's blood; however they do not fasten themselves on when biting. They are almost impossible to spot and also very fast but you may find flea dirt that they leave behind, which would look like black specks. The big problems with fleas is not only do they make the dog very uncomfortable and itchy but they can cause allergies in dogs and this may lead to hair loss. Another issue is that the continual feeding on your dog's blood makes your pet very lethargic and drained. Fleas can even bring tapeworm eggs with them onto the dog, if the dog bites a flea that has tapeworm eggs, the dog will then have tapeworm.

Lice, like the other two pests (ticks and fleas) also like to feed on the blood of a dog so they are not dissimilar, although some varieties of lice do prefer to feed on the dogs dead skin, either is quite repulsive and uncomfortable for your dog. Lice move very slowly so it would be easy for you to spot them on a dog, they are light brown in colour and sometimes attach themselves to the hairs. As well as them being tapeworm carriers it is possible for them to carry other diseases, although the biggest problem here is if the lice lay eggs. If the dog is unlucky enough to have a pregnant female on him or her it really is a big deal, as she will lay her eggs and they will stick to individual hairs with an almost glue like solution, which in turn makes it very difficult to treat as nothing will break through the eggs.

The way to stop these three dog pests from harming your pet is simple; you should prevent the pests from being attracted to your dog, rather than treat them after, when it is much more of a bigger problem for you and your dog.
