Looking After Pets

Flea control is one of the most important aspects of your pet’s health care. If you are thinking about exactly why you should use flea control, then this article is for you. Here are just some of the reasons you should be using flea control on your pet:

First off, flea bites are itchy and uncomfortable. Can you remember how it feels when you get bitten by a mosquito? Flea bites are no different. Ever notice how much a flea-ridden dog itches? Think about how uncomfortable they must be. A good dog owner wouldn’t want their pet to suffer that kind of discomfort.

And just think about the poor pets with flea allergy dermatitis. pets with flea allergy dermatitis get intensely itchy after just a couple of flea bites, and can cause themselves serious harm from the self trauma that scratching creates.

You need to think about keeping fleas from attacking you as well. Fleas will attack people as well, so using flea treatment will help to keep you from getting attacked as well. If the thought of fleas biting you makes you feel queasy (I know it makes me feel queasy) then this should be reason enough!

Another good reason to use flea treatment is other parasite control for your pet. Grooming dog s will pick up tapeworm eggs from fleas in their coat. No fleas = less worms. Some dog worms can also infest humans, so flea treatment will help keep you healthy as well as your pets.

Aside from worms, there are some more serious consequences of flea infestations as well. In young dogs and cats, a flea burden can be overwhelming and actually cause significant loss of blood and death. Using flea control will prevent this from happening.

Finally, there is also a social aspect to flea control. There is a real stigma associated with having a flea ridden dog. It signifies that you don’t care or can’t afford to look after your dog properly.

So do the right thing, use flea control. Your dog will thank you for it.

Natural flea control for dogs doesn’t have to be that complicated if you know the proper steps. Your goal should be to prevent fleas on your dog without using the harmful flea control chemical sprays and gels. There are many dangerous chemicals in flea control sprays such as cythioate, fentlilon and imidacloprid. These dangerous chemicals are known as “neurotoxins” and can cause your dog some real harm in the long run. If you notice on the directions for the flea sprays, it warns you not to get any spray on your skin. Now if the chemicals in the spray are harmful to you, you can be pretty sure they are going to be harmful to your dog.

Here are some tips on natural flea control for dogs.

The first thing in flea control for dogs is to check your dog for fleas. You probably won’t be able to tell just by looking. Grab a paper towel, soak it in water and put it under your dog as your dog is on all fours. You want to brush your dog, using a downward motion, which will cause anything to fall onto the wet towel below your dog. If you see these little black dots that turn a reddish color when they get wet, this is flea poop, and your dog has fleas.

After that, I want you to realize that 90% of the fleas actually infest your house and only 10% of the fleas are on your dog! Vacumming your house regularly and keeping it clean is a big part of natural flea control for dogs.

Also keep in mind that feeding your dog a very healthy dog food daily will greatly reduce the chances of it ever getting a flea infestation. Healthy dog food gives your dog a strong immune system that is able to repel fleas on its own. Feeding the dog you love unhealthy dog food weakens the immune system which allows the fleas to prosper. Go find out for yourself now at the above link if your dog is truly eating a healthy diet.

Finally, a great way to implement natural flea control for dogs is get a bandanna for your dog and spray it weekly with essential oils that act as a natural flea repellent. Lavender, cedar wood, citronella, tea tree, sage and peppermint oils are all great oils for natural flea control for dogs.
