No matter how clean your house is, or how hard you try to keep your pet away from other animals, the fact is that most cats or dogs will get the occasional flea or tick. There are however, plenty of products on the market that will help to prevent fleas and ticks from becoming a problem, from collars and flea drops, to household sprays that will prevent them from spreading.
Even if you don’t have a flea or tick problem at the moment it is still worthwhile applying some form of flea and tick control product to your pet. Preventing these creatures from taking up residence on your pet is always preferable to trying to rid yourself of an infestation. One of the simplest and reliable methods of flea and tick prevention is the application of Frontline for Cats or Frontline for Dogs.
Ridding yourself of a flea or tick infestation requires you to treat more than just the animal. Simply eliminating the adult flea or tick from your pet may not solve the problem as the eggs and larvae remain in your home and garden, so you may need to purchase more than one product, one to treat the animal and another to treat your home.
Whatever products you choose to use always follow the instructions exactly, and never apply a medication designed for dogs on a cat or vice versa, and never mix different products. Remember you are dealing with medicated products and as such they need to be treated with respect, they are safe in the prescribed doses but overdoses can be dangerous. If you are unsure about a product then consult a vet before use.
