To determine the appropriate level of flea treatment for your dog, we will collaborate with you to conduct a risk assessment based on your pet's lifestyle and behaviour. Once every month, you should treat your pet for fleas, and every two to three months, or even more frequently, for worms. Depending on your pet's lifestyle, talk to your vet about the best course of action. The flea treatments we advise kill existing fleas quickly and protect your dog for 4 weeks. Every month they should be treated with spot-on treatment and checked to make sure there are no signs of fleas.

How often should I treat my dog for fleas, this will vary from product to product and it is important that you read the product guidelines. Different products also have different lengths of intervals between treatments, so it is important to ensure you follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and seek guidance from your vet. Regular use of an effective flea product will prevent re-infestation. Due to the flea life cycle, new fleas may carry on emerging in the home for six weeks or longer after initial application of an effective flea treatment to your pet, therefore more than one treatment may be required. Suitable environmental measures are also recommended.
