Things You Should Know about Dog Fleas

There are various misconceptions among the dog owners regarding the health hazards of their dog and one such misconception is definitely about the fleas. In the past few years, I have met many dog parents, who think fleas can attack only those dogs, who live on the street. But, that’s not the truth, even if your dog is living in a fit and top condition, they can get fleas. If you live in a highly populated locality and that area is surrounded by wild animals, then it would hardly matter what a great condition, your dog is in. If your dog comes in contact with a flea infested animal, the chances are high that you will get fleas on your hands.

Fleas can infest animals round the year. They are hardly concerned about the time of the year, and they can live freely in your carpet and furniture until they get hold of your animal. Ideally, a pet animal is the carrier of the fleas and in maximum cases, they are the ones who leave fleas around the house, but once the fleas get a cozy and warm space, they set up home and start laying eggs.

If you prefer to be a go green person and unfortunately, if you find your dog is infested with fleas, be aware while consulting the vet. Even though, many vets are aware of the evil effect of chemical based flea treatments, they recommend the flea control products without thinking left and right. So, here comes your responsibility of balancing the duty of a pet parent as well as a sensible friend of nature. There are many effective flea control products that are completely natural and do not harm nature at all. Dog flea collar seresto is another option, you can opt for if you want the fleas to be removed with quick action.
