Dog owners do not exclusively have loud, non-stop barking of their pets as their sole source of consternation - also providing an annoyance as well is the problem of scratching as a result of pests , allergies or skin disorders. A large percent of dog population in USA alone suffer from these problems. Dog owners usually think instantly that their dogs have allergies but in reality there are about 160 or more skin disorders that your dog might have. One would need to pay close attention to his or her dog if fleas are revealed to be the main cause, even if cats are more known to be susceptible to fleas.
One of the most annoying problems that most dog owners share is dog fleas especially during summer season. Fleas are more than just a summer problem to some areas of the country. In addition, a dog can become exposed to fleas in a number of ways, including other dogs or animals.
Fleas work their perverse form of "magic" largely through their back legs, powerful enough to jump wherever they please, including from one dog to another. They may be bereft of anything to aid them in flying, but those legs of theirs will ensure they find new prey within a matter of a few split seconds.
The most common reaction of dogs bitten by fleas for them to itch, but a dog that is allergic to fleas, or with overly sensitive skin would suffer more extreme reactions, such as hair loss and skin infections and inflammations. A dog that is hypersensitive to flea's saliva will itch all over from the bite of a single flea. There is a lot of information on the internet that can help you solve this problem. Your veterinarian would infallibly be the individual who would provide you with professional advice on how to control fleas and what makes them tick, pun not intended.
Here are some steps that you can follow to get rid of fleas
If the flea problem is in full swing, then do not waste time in consulting your vet.
Thoroughly clean the primary areas where your pet goes around. This is a preventative measure designed to protect the environment your pet is acclimated to.
Thoroughly vacuum everything from carpets, rugs, furniture, mattresses and etc. Be sure to dispose of the bag once you are done vacuuming.
Use flea treatments. But don't do so unless you have gotten professional advice from your veterinarian.
Keep your pet away from other animals that are currently affected by flea problems.
You can also use a variety of products on your pet, including a wide range of grooming products (shampoo, powder, mousse, etc.) and collars, to help control fleas.
Fleas cannot be literally exterminated within the span of a day. Controlling or getting rid of fleas is an on going battle. It is better to treat your pet early when you see some fleas than solving a flea infestation.
