Getting Rid of Dog Fleas

by mma316

If your dog has fleas, it's a problem not only for the dog, but
for its owner as well.  If the dog's fleas are not treated, the
problem can escalate to infesting your home, onto your other pets
and even onto you.  Needless to say, it's an issue that needs to
be dealt with quickly before the situation becomes worse.

How to Detect Fleas

Dog owners often detect that their dog has fleas because it
scratches more than usual.  The reason for this is because the
flea's bite; if the dog is allergic to the fleas (in actuality,
the saliva) it can cause extreme itching.  It might progress in
which you notice your dog loses fur in places of its body.  This
in turn can lead to inflammation and infections.

The above signs are the outward manifestations that your dog has
fleas.  However, even though these pests are very small, they are
still visible to the naked eye.  They are brown in color and like
to hide in the dog's fur, particularly under the collar or the
belly.  Another sure sign that your dog has fleas is if you see
black specks on your dog's coat.  Unfortunately, you are looking
at the fecal matter of the fleas.

Dog Flea Treatments

So now that you have established the fact that your dog has
fleas, what is your next course of action?  Flea collars, powders
and sprays help with the prevention of fleas but if your dog is
already infested, you will need to get clean your dog's
environment, namely, your house.  You will need to clean the
carpet, the sofa, the dog bed - wherever your dog roams as flea
eggs can fall off the dog.  Even if you get rid of the dog fleas,
 these eggs will hatch and eventually grow into adult fleas
whereby the whole cycle starts over again.  The lifecycle must
stop.  This is why you must get rid of all traces of the fleas by
cleaning the house and get special medication that specifically
states that it will kill the fleas and eggs as well.

Dog fleas are just a huge nuisance for the dog and owner alike. 
Not only is it a health issue but an environmental issue as well
for dog and human combined.  It is best to prevent dog fleas and
there are numerous products available in pet stores or even
online at a fraction of the cost.
