How Can Vets Get Rid of Fleas?

If you’re looking for an effective flea treatment for your pets, you can try a flea shampoo from your veterinarian or from a store. The shampoo should be applied to your pet’s fur from the head down, and it should cover areas where fleas may live. You may have to repeat this procedure a few times to kill the fleas. In the meantime, you can brush your pet’s fur with a flea comb.

Fleas aren’t allergic to humans, but they do like to feed off the blood of animals. Flea bites are often dangerous, as they carry several diseases. They can spread typhus, cat scratch fever, and bubonic plague. You should contact a vet as soon as you notice a flea infestation if your pet develops any of these diseases.

Fortunately, there are several types of flea treatments that can be effective for your pet. These treatments target different parts of the flea life cycle, including the egg, larva, pupa, and adult. These treatments kill the adult fleas and prevent the fleas from developing new ones.

The most effective flea medications are available by prescription from your veterinarian. However, before administering any medication to your pet, be sure to discuss all your options with your veterinarian.
