Dogs and fleas
Of all the little parasites that a dog could pick up, along with ticks, I think fleas is probably the worst. In fact, I think fleas are worse than ticks because although ticks look worse and are painful to remove, getting rid of fleas once they’ve infested your house is hard work.
It is for this reason that you really must make sure that you start a flea prevention routine from the moment you get your dog or puppy and keep it up. It isn’t that hard either, you can just buy a spray or cream and it needs applying monthly or sometimes quarterly depending what you buy.
Set it on your kitchen calendar to remind you when it’s next due and stick to it. It might be a pain in the bum to remember but that five minutes spent is better than several hours trying to get rid of them later.
