How to Get Rid of Fleas and Ticks

Two years ago, there was a flea infestation in my county.  Everywhere I went, people were complaining of the fleas and ticks their pets were plagued with.  I hadn't seen my dogs or cats scratching, so I didn't worry about it.  Then my best friend called me and was complaining about the flea infestation she got, from one cat.  I couldn't believe what she was telling me.  Just like that, I started experiencing some of the same things.

Within days, the fleas became a problem.  I did a Google search and read a lot.  One of things I read instructed one to go out into the yard wearing white socks to see if there were fleas outside.  If your socks become speckled, you have a problem.  I went outside and stood on the green grass.  Within a minute, I had small dots on my socks.  I was horrified!  Worst of all, I spent lots of money on flea and tick collars, powders and shampoos.  My friend hired an exterminator, used flea bombs, collars, powders and nothing worked.

My niece told me one of her classmates had the same problem.  Her father tried every product in the store and finally found something that worked.  What was it?  Frontline Plus

Frontline Plus carries products for specifically dogs or cats (dosage is administered according to their weight).  It kills fleas and ticks very quickly and with ongoing treatment, you will not have any more problems.

The best way to prevent ticks and fleas is to use frontline plus on a regular basis.  The last thing you want is to have fleas in your home!

Verify that your dog has had the necessary heartworm, lungworm, and flea/tick prophylactic medications. You can find them at PetCareRx. Numerous issues, such as flea allergy dermatitis and Lyme disease, can be brought on by ticks and fleas.Both fleas and ticks can result in life-threatening amounts of blood loss, particularly in young dogs. There are numerous effective and simple to use remedies available, but if you have questions or feel like you need more guidance, go to your veterinarian.
