Treat all pets in your home
Fleas will undoubtedly attack all pets in the house, so you must treat all your pets to increase the effectiveness of the medication.

Apply preventative to healthy skin
Adding a fatty acid supplement with Omega 3 helps improve your pet's skin health by restoring its softness and flexibility. Healthy skin helps flea medication easily spread throughout the skin and increases effectiveness.

Don't give fleas a biting chance
In addition to preventatives pet products like shampoos and topical sprays can be used in between monthly flea medication applications to help keep fleas away.
