My dog is on flea prevention. Why are fleas still on them?
This is a question many homeowners have.
A dog can be on flea prevention, get a bath, and still seem like it is covered in fleas shortly afterward. That does not always mean the flea prevention is failing.
The problem may be in the environment.
Fleas can live and develop in areas such as:
Carpet and rugs
Pet bedding
Furniture
Cracks and protected areas inside the home
Shaded areas outside
Areas where pets rest or spend time
If fleas are developing in and around the home, they can continue jumping onto your pet even after the pet has been treated.
Effective flea control often requires addressing both the pet and the environment.
If you're dealing with a flea problem, Attic to Basement Pest Control offers interior and exterior flea treatments, as well as seasonal flea and tick protection.
