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.
