Establish Effective Pet Flea Prevention

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.
