It's getting hotter! That means, the beach, swimming, pools--and fleas! Here are a couple of ways to protect your pet this year.
Before an attack:
1) Treat the yard. You can go to your local pet store and buy products to treat soil in moist, shady areas around the house, where immature fleas are most likely to live.
Already under siege:
1) If it's a severe case you can also buy products to treat carpets and upholstered furniture. But usually, all you need is to vacuum and thoroughly wash your cat's or dog's bedding.
2) Treat your cat. A lot of treatments are easy to use and only require to be applied to your pet's skin once a month or taken orally. But make sure you talk to your veterinarian to avoid side affects, and never use a cat product for a dog or vice versa.
