Flea treatments: prevent and get rid of fleas by regularly using flea treatment for your pets. See your vet for advice on the best flea products that will work for your pet. Treat quickly: If you spot fleas on your pet, treat them quickly, as they can give your cat or dog tapeworms and diseases. Only give your pet flea treatment that's been recommended for them, ideally one prescribed by your vet. Treat regularly: you may need to treat your pet and home for fleas all year round if your home is centrally heated. Please talk to your vet about the best flea treatments for your pet and how often they should be used to help protect your pet, people, and the planet. It's essential to treat both your pet and your home, as fleas can survive in the environment without a host for many months. Clean bedding regularly and vacuum furniture, floors and skirting boards to help destroy fleas at each stage of their lifecycle. Throw away the dust bag from your vacuum after each use to prevent any flea eggs and larvae from developing.

But spot on treatment and tablet medications are the only effective long-term methods of flea control. It's best to ask your vet for advice on a suitable treatment for your dog. Spot on treatments are products whereby liquid is applied to the skin at the back of a pet’s neck. They have become a very popular and effective method of flea control. Flea medication administered in tablet form is also a good option, if you find it difficult to give your pet a spot on treatment or if they swim or are bathed often. It works by preventing the development of eggs into fleas, eliminating new generations all together. Make sure you're using the appropriate size for your dog's weight. A single treatment is unlikely to be enough, as eggs and larvae are found in the environment. Always follow your vet's advice when considering flea treatment for your dog. You should speak to your vet about your dog's flea treatment needs.

Treating your dog for ticks and fleas helps reduce the risk of these diseases. Regular treatment helps prevent allergic reactions and the associated skin issues. Treating your dog helps alleviate their discomfort and prevents them from experiencing unnecessary pain. By keeping your dog free from these parasites, you also reduce the risk of infestations in your home and the potential for health issues for your family. Regular veterinary check-ups can help you determine the appropriate flea and tick prevention strategy for your dog. Always consult your veterinarian before starting any preventive measures and follow their recommendations for the most effective and safe approach. Here at Vet Medi, we supply a range of both prescription flea treatments, as well as non-prescription worm and flea treatments.
