Flea Treatment
Some flea treatment available from vets can sterilize the flea
and stop it from breeding and laying eggs, however they usually do not kill the
flea which is left to cause problems on the dog.
Other devices like the human
louse comb (electric) will zap the flea when you comb it through its hair.
Even in the best kept homes and on the cleanest pets fleas can
be a problem. But you can control them as long as you treat both your pet and
your home. Fleas live and feed on pets.
After feeding on your pet's blood the
female flea lays eggs which drop into the animal's bedding or favourite resting
place. The highest concentration of eggs, larvae and pupae are likely to be in
these areas rather than on the animal itself.
Fleas can lay up to 20 eggs per day and 500 in one lifetime.
