Dog Fleas? We can help!

Dog fleas are tiny insects that bite into the dog's skin and make your pet feel very uncomfortable. Not only do they cause itching and constant scratching, but they can lead to serious health problems for your beloved dog. Fleas also spread to people from the dogs they come in contact with and could lead to an infestation within your home. This is why you need to use preventative products for dog flea and tick control on a regular basis.

Advantage or Frontline - Choose your weapon!

Two of the best treatments on the market for fleas and ticks in both dogs and cats are Advantage and Frontline. Both of these products are excellent medications for dogs and cats that are applied easily with a single topical application between your pet's shoulder blades. The lotion eliminates the fleas or ticks that already exist in the fur and on the skin and provides an immunization barrier against further insects that soon die when they come in contact with the medication.

Using Frontline

Frontline is the flea control product that is highly recommended for use in dogs. It is not recommended for puppies less than 8 weeks old. You can also use this as a flea treatment for cats. Some of the features that make this product so popular include:

• It is waterproof
• It lasts for a full month
• It is gentle enough that it won't cause any irritation to the skin in puppies and kittens

Using Advantage

Advantage is another highly recommended treatment for ticks and fleas. Some of the attractive features of this product include:

• It is suitable for use with dogs and cats, even puppies and kittens that are two months old.
• It kills the fleas and ticks within 12 hours
• You don't need a prescription to use this product

Since both products are available right here online, you can make the decision about which one is right for you and your pet.
