What Are Fleas?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Flea<\/p>\n

Fleas are six-legged parasites that feed on the blood of their host. They find warm environment conducive for their reproduction process. A flea life cycle goes through egg, larva, pupa and adult.<\/p>\n

What Made Them So Dangerous?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Insects like fleas not only suck the blood of their host but also cause itching sensation. A pet, when bitten by flea develops an allergic reaction to released flea saliva<\/strong>. The presence of this saliva on his skin forces him to scratch mindlessly.<\/p>\n

If the pet not treated on time, the itching habit can turn into serious skin disorder like Flea Allergy Dermatitis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How Do I Know My Dog Has Fleas?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Use a flea comb to check any traces of fleas present in your dog\u2019s hair. Flea dirt is the common trail, which signals the presence of flea parasite in a pet. The unnatural itching and scratching habit of a pet also makes a case for flea infestation.<\/p>\n

Are Fleas A Cause Of Worry To Only Pets Or Humans Too?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fleas are attracted towards warm-blooded mammals. Dog and humans both come under this category. While, fleas are a constant menace in a dog\u2019s life, they are not averse to us humans. The anatomical features of humans, makes them less vulnerable to fleas, as compared to their best friend- the dog.<\/p>\n

How Do I Treat This Flea Menace?<\/strong>
\nThe treatment starts from your home. These parasites are hiding in your home environment. This includes your furniture, carpets, pet\u2019s bedding, etc. Make a habit of cleaning your house at regular intervals. Use hot water for best results.<\/p>\n

Use insecticides for getting rid of the fleas present in the outdoor environment. Protect your pet by using flea preventives<\/a> such as Frontline Plus<\/a> and Nexgard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Look for any unnatural behavior in your pet like mindless itching and scratching. Consult vet at earliest when you notice such signs. Add extra caution in warm season.<\/p>\n
