How to control fleas or avoid them altogether

When it comes to our dogs we want to protect them in every possible way. If you have just brought home your very own Vizsla puppy from White River Kennels, we want you to take all precautions in protecting your precious pup from all elements. One of the most common problems any dog faces is fleas. It can happen at anytime, anywhere and no dog is immune.

By the time most dog owners discover fleas, their home is usually also part of the problem. Controlling and eliminating fleas is important to protect not only your dog but your house too. Fleas and their eggs can be found wherever dogs like to sleep, play and spend time. Fleas live on pets and bite them to feed on their blood supply. Dogs begin to scratch when fleas irritate them, which cannot only be annoying but painful too. Fleas can hatch everywhere: your home, animals, sheds parks, gardens and wooded areas. Adult fleas that live on an animal such as your Vizsla, will stay there. They prefer to stay with just one host rather than move around.

When a dog scratches, shakes their cost or lies down these actions scatter flea eggs and fleas from room to room in your house. The eggs can hatch in your carpets, beds, sofa, etc. Adult fleas will lie in wait for their victims and can go without food for months. People as well as pets that walk nearby provide a stimulus coming from body heat and exhaled breath. These are signals for fleas to jump on you and your pup.

You need to take control of a flea problem or try and prevent it altogether. You need to kill the adult fleas first before they find a home for your dog. Kill any new adults already on your dog by using products developed specifically for flea issues. Use other products that prevent further infestation. Use products to clean your home that is designed to control and kill fleas and eggs.

Taking a practical approach to controlling and eradication fleas involve a few steps. Regularly vacuum your house. Use a product on your dog that kills fleas and flea eggs. Wash your dog’s bedding regularly, this will remove any eggs that are harvesting there.
