If you're looking for the best dog flea treatment for your pet, you need to consider your dog's lifestyle and behaviour. Dogs that spend a lot of time outdoors and exploring grass or woodlands are at higher risk of picking up parasites like fleas and ticks because they tend to live there after falling off wildlife, like foxes, hedgehogs, and squirrels. Perhaps one of the most popular flea and tick treatments for dogs is spot-on flea treatments. These easy-to-use and straightforward treatments come as pre-measured pipettes filled with liquid flea treatment, depending on your dog’s body weight, and typically offer up to four weeks of protection. Some of these treatments, like the Advantage Spot-On Flea Treatment, only kill fleas on your pet, meaning ticks can still bite your pet. If you want to offer them added parasite protection, you can find more broad-spectrum flea treatments, like the Beaphar FIPROtec COMBO for Dogs. Dog Flea Collars, like the Seresto Collar, provide your pet with up to 8 months of parasite protection in just one collar. Another good dog flea treatment is flea tablets, typically available in film-coated and chewable varieties for ease of administration. Tablets like the Advantage™ Flea Tablets for dogs are formulated to get to work fast, killing all fleas on your dog within four hours, and ticks within eight.

Fleas and ticks can be picked up from other infested animals, such as other dogs, cats, or wildlife. Fleas can also be found in environments where infested animals have been, such as parks, yards, or boarding facilities. Ticks are commonly found in wooded areas, tall grasses, or shrubs, where they attach themselves to passing animals. Spot-on flea treatments are usually liquid and applied to the skin, typically between the shoulder blades or along the back. These treatments contain insecticides that are absorbed into the dog's body through the skin, entering the bloodstream - when fleas come into contact with the treated area; they are killed or repelled. Flea tablets, also known as oral flea medications, are ingested by the dog. These tablets contain chemicals that are absorbed into the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body. When fleas bite the dog, they are exposed to these chemicals, which either kill the fleas directly or disrupt their life cycle, preventing them from reproducing. Year-round prevention is recommended.
