If your dog has fleas, you'll need to treat them and your home to get rid of them. As well as getting your dog treatment as soon as possible, it’s important to remember that the parasites only spend a limited time on the host. 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. 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. Flea treatment tablets work by preventing the development of eggs into fleas, eliminating new generations all together. You should speak to your vet about your dog's flea treatment needs.

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. 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. Treat regularly: you may need to treat your pet and home for fleas all year round if your home is centrally heated.
