Flea Product for Dogs – Advantage and Frontline Plus
Looking after your dog is highly important and as a dog is man’s best friend you will want to make sure that you repay your loyal companion for being such a good friend by looking after them well and making sure they have everything they need.
This means making sure they get exercise and walks, making sure that they are well fed and that their coat and skin is looked after and making sure that they have healthy teeth. It also means keeping them free of flees and ticks and this is something that many pet owners forget about looking after their dogs.
Fleas might not seem like a big deal, but actually they often are. They will make your dog itch and that is of course a very irritating problem for them in the first place. Often you will find that as your dog itches, they get so irritated that they end up yelping as they scratch themselves and even draw blood in an attempt to get rid of any of the flees. Of course this is not a good thing and it is a fast way to let your dog damage their skin.
As fleas aggravate the skin and as your dog will be hurting it more themselves by scratching this is then a sure fire way to dry out the skin and lead to itching, flaking, psoriasis and the falling out of hair which can make your dog look unclean and unhealthy and which can also cause them further aggravation. You might even find that this affects your pet’s mood and that they are more likely to growl, snap and bite as a result of being in pain and discomfort. Of course then you will want to help them as quickly as possible and this is where flea products come in to help.
Lastly if your dog struggles with fleas then it means that their immune system is going to be under attack as they try to fight the problem. That in turn will mean that they are more likely to struggle with other illnesses and you will probably find them having less energy in general. For them it’s not just an itchy nuisance it’s something that can really bring them down.
By using advantage and front line it is possible to use just a little bit of the product in order to kill off fleas and to prevent them from laying eggs. At the same time though you also need to do other things to help keep your dogs flea free. For instance if they have recently suffered from fleas then be sure to wash any of their blankets, toys or bedding as the fleas can lay eggs in these that can survive for longer periods and then jump back onto your dog when they hatch. For the same reason you should also get your carpet and rugs professionally washed and this will also help to prevent the fleas from biting you and your family and you should do this regularly anyway if you have pets.
Lastly you should make sure to give your dog a healthy diet. This will promote good general health including for their skin which will prevent them from getting fleas again in future.
There is a growing amount of recommended flea prevention products such as advantage flea products for dogs. One of the most well-known brands is frontline plus.
