Flea treatment can easily be done at home, so here's how to do it: 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. Products suitable for one species may not be suitable for another. 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. Treat regularly: you may need to treat your pet and home for fleas all year round if your home is centrally heated. 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.
