No matter how you take care of your animal, almost no one is immune from the appearance of fleas.
Moreover, it is not always possible to recognize the infection in time, especially if we are talking about a dog with dark fur.
Let's figure out how to determine if your dog has fleas and how to avoid spreading them.
How does a dog get fleas?
Let's start with the fact that a pet can pick up fleas even at home, for example, when uninvited guests are brought in by people on their clothes.
The fact that the dog is infected will be indicated by intensive scratching of the problem area, as well as contamination in the form of brownish-black crumbs that are found on the animal's fur.
In addition, parasites can often be found not only on the dog itself, but also in the places where it likes to lie and sleep.
If you find fleas or any traces of their presence, you should contact a veterinarian so that a specialist can prescribe the most appropriate treatment.
This is because the means of combating parasites have different effects. In addition, a one-time treatment will not help in the fight against parasites, and therefore it is necessary to undergo a full cycle of treatment to get rid of them.
