How To Prevent Fleas in Dogs and Cats

Outdoor Exposure - Dogs are more likely to pick up fleas when they spend time outdoors, especially in areas where other animals or wildlife have left flea eggs behind.

Social Interaction - If your dog plays with other pooches or visits areas where other animals with fleas hang out, they are at a higher risk of picking up these pests from their furiends!

Lack of Effective Prevention - Not all flea preventatives are equally effective. If you're not using a reliable preventative product, your dog might still be susceptible to fleas. Using Itch Flea treatment each month is an effective way to protect your pets from the little suckers!

Even after successfully treating a flea infestation, it's possible for your dog to be re-infested if the environment is also not thoroughly cleaned and treated. 95% of fleas live in your environment, not on your pet. Kill the fleas in your home with Itch Flea Home spray!

Outdoor Exploration - Cats are natural explorers, and their outdoor adventures can expose them to fleas from other animals or infested environments.

Shared Spaces - If you’re lucky enough to have multiple pets, it's possible for fleas to spread from one pet to another, even if only one pet is showing visible signs of infestation. And fleas can easily transfer between cats and dogs too!

Grooming Habits - Cats are meticulous groomers, which can make it harder to spot fleas. They might ingest fleas during grooming, making it difficult to identify the source of the problem.

Lack of Effective Prevention - You need to be using an effective, reliable flea treatment consistently for it to be super effective at preventing fleas in your feline friends! Itch flea treatment is delivered to your door each month so you’ll never miss a treatment and your pets will stay protected.

Use Reliable Products - Choose flea prevention products that are scientifically proven and recommended by vets; like Itch Flea Treatment for Cats and Itch Flea Treatment for Dogs!

Follow Instructions - It's super important to follow the instructions on flea prevention products carefully. Apply the correct dosage, administer at the right intervals, and use the appropriate product for your pet's size and species. A subscription to Itch Flea is tailored to your pet, so does all of the above automatically, and is delivered exactly when you need to apply, so you never forget.

Treat All Pets - If you have multiple pets, make sure to treat all of them at the same time, even if only one pet is showing signs of fleas. This prevents the pesky blighters from spreading between your pets.

Regular Grooming - This not only keeps your pet's coat healthy but also helps you spot any signs of fleas or skin issues early on, which could save you a lot of hassle down the line!

Maintain a Clean Environment - Fleas thrive in warm, humid environments. Regularly hoovering your home, washing your pet's bedding (at 60°C folks - no less!), and clean areas your pets spend a lot of time in to reduce the chances of infestation.

Flea-Proof the Garden - Keep your garden well-maintained to discourage wild animals that might carry fleas from entering your home and pet’s environment.

Year-Round Prevention - Fleas absolutely thrive in their peak season but remain a pesky problem year-round so it’s crucial to maintain your flea prevention all year round.
