Fleas on Dogs: A Pekingese Problem

Good news is, ticks and fleas are easy to control with so many available products but what a dog owner should do is be consistent in treating the dog. There are plenty of things a dog owner can use like anti-tick and flea shampoo and soap. It is also recommended that dogs should be applied spot-on treatment which lasts longer than shampoos and soaps. Whatever it is that you decide to use, make sure to follow the product’s instructions on application and frequency of use. Being consistent helps a lot in not only killing and repelling adult ticks and fleas but also making sure that their eggs would be exterminated as well. Just be sure to check out the product’s review so you will be sure that it is mild enough for your dogs. You are only killing the parasite and not your dog.
