Rid your dog of ticks and fleas.
Fleas
Fleas are small, jumping parasites that aren’t always easy to spot on your dog. To get to their blood meal, they bite into your dog’s skin, and their saliva causes the severe itching. Tiny as they are, fleas are quite hardy, and getting rid of them completely can pose quite the challenge. They can survive without a host for a period of time, and to make it even more complicated, there are often fleas in different stages of their lifecycle in your home.
Your vet will be able to advise on a product to use to treat all the animals in your home. Wash all bedding in your house on a hot cycle in the machine. You can also use a flea spray for your home as well as your garden.
