Choosing the right Flea Control

The choices available today for flea control are numerous and can be a bit confusing. In general all dogs should be treated for fleas monthly, heart wormed monthly (or yearly injection by Vet) and intestinal wormed every 3 months (there again if this is not included in there flea control). Three products will give protection for paralysis ticks but only if used fortnightly. There are tick collars on the market and must be replaced every 2 months. Four products cover intestinal worms but only two of those cover for all 4 intestinal worms, tapeworm. This is the worm transmitted by fleas, so if your pet does by any chance have a flea infestation then they should also be treated for tape worm which is covered by an all wormer product. Now if you didn’t quite get all that above this handy little chart may be of some help in deciding which products to apply. And another handy tip is dogs suffering from flea allergies should use a product that is specifically  for fleas – ones that knock down adult fleas straight away. Or this may have confused you even more if so just give me a call and I would be happy to help.
