Initiating flea treatment with a thorough combing session and a bath using flea-specific shampoo lays a solid foundation. This approach proves particularly beneficial for young animals that still need to reach the minimum age or weight requirements for other flea remedies. Combing your pet when their fur is dry, preferably before administering a flea shampoo bath, is essential.
To rid your pet of fleas, use a flea shampoo and bathe them in a tub, sink, or outdoors (ensuring they're leashed). Adhere closely to the instructions on the product packaging, ensuring thorough rinsing to prevent shampoo residue from drying on your pet's skin.
While flea combs and baths offer cost-effective solutions, they require considerable effort and are most effective for mild infestations. Consistent process repetition is necessary to eliminate all fleas on your pet.
Also known as spot-on treatments, topical medications like Bravecto, Revolution, Frontline Plus, and Advantage Multi are top-rated and effective solutions for eliminating fleas, eggs, and larvae. They can be safely used on pets as young as seven weeks old, making them a preferred option when pets resist oral medications.
The application involves placing the medication at the base of your pet's neck or between shoulder blades. Ensure the product is completely dry before exposing your pet to water and allowing young children or other pets to contact them.
Oral treatments, available as flavored or unflavored chewables, are typically more suitable for dogs due to the challenge of administering pills to cats.
Capstar is an excellent option for immediate relief for cats and dogs. It works rapidly, eliminating adult fleas within 30 minutes of administration, and can be safely administered once daily.
Monthly Treatments:
Monthly flea treatments are designed to eradicate existing fleas, eggs, and larvae on your pet. Bravecto is a highly effective monthly treatment available in topical form for cats and chewable for dogs. NexGard, another option for dogs (including puppies as young as eight weeks), also provides comprehensive flea control, targeting adult fleas, eggs, and larvae. Bravecto and NexGard also offer protection against newly emerged fleas, preventing re-infestation. Bravecto chews for dogs provide up to 12 weeks of protection, while NexGard chewables eliminate all fleas within 24 hours and offer protection for up to 30 days.
Flea Collars:
Flea collars are particularly beneficial during the summer when flea activity peaks. The Seresto flea collar stands out for its effectiveness in eliminating fleas, ticks, and their larvae, offering one of the safest and longest-lasting forms of flea protection for your pet.
Both Seresto dog and cat collars kill and repel fleas and ticks, providing up to eight months of protection. Fasten the collar around your pet's neck with enough space to comfortably fit two fingers underneath. The collar must contact your pet's skin to ensure effectiveness.
This on-line company is such a good find. They provide quality products at a good price with delivering them efficiently. Definitely recommend purchasing from them.
Two sweet girlies decided to make our deck their home. Mosquitoes are a big problem where we live and we had to get them protected. This was the best bang for the buck. I’ve ordered from 79Pets several times and while delivery is not fast it is very consistent.
As a retired veterinary technician I was extremely happy to finally see a flea and heartworm medication that actually does tapeworms too!!!!!!! This is a 1st to my knowledge....I live in a tropical climate where fleas never die so this is heaven sent.
Great price, authentic quality and reliable shipping. Shipping takes a bit longer, since it is being shipped from abroad. But still a reliable service.
After Seresto collars failed to get rid of fleas, I didn't know where to turn. I saw a post on a page I follow (Kentucky Kitty Cats) saying that they use Nexgard Combo for the cats they shelter. I decided to try it and IT WORKS!
This is Lexi Marie! She was wondering why mom was so excited for buying flea medicine. I explained to her that we saved $100 and that she would understand some day when she grows up.
Last year, I made a visit to the vet. I told them that Kattie/cat had ear mites. They gave me an ointment costing $80canadian. I used it up and purchased another bottle. $160. total not including the cost of the vet visit. No results. The ear mites have been there for a long time. Canadian vets have control of what is sold in Pet stores and you cannot purchase off the shelf products not recognized by them.
I jumped at the chance to purchase your produce with a recommended 100% effectivity. I was willing to try, but was suspicions.
After a month there was still a little scratching but after 6 weeks, the mites are gone and the scratching is gone.
Thank you very much for this mite solution. I recommend it heartily. Harry
P.S. Do not tell the Canadian vets as they will outlaw your product.
