Early action is essential to prevent skin problems from escalating. Waiting until September, when flea populations can explode, is not advisable. Taking proactive steps early in the season is key.
To manage skin issues related to fleas, conduct regular flea checks on your pet and their environment. Implement effective flea control measures to keep the infestation in check, protecting your pet's skin and overall well-being.
At our animal hospital in Vancouver we have many flea products available, and they work in different ways. Those that offer immediate relief usually do so through a “quick knockdown”-which is, they kill adult fleas on contact or when the fleas bite, but they do not harm larvae or sterilize any remaining adults. Others take longer to relieve symptoms because they work by killing larvae or sterilizing adults, but his also means that they do a more thorough job of getting rid of fleas over the long term.
