the-counter

and begins killing fleas within just a few hours . It is generally a safe option for cats and dogs when used in appropriate doses .

Using spot-on (

topical

)

treatments

Spot -on treatments are typically

applied to the back of your

pet's neck

to prevent ingestion of medication while wet . Once the medicine dries, it is not very dangerous .

 

Certain topical treatments for dogs and cats, such as

Frontline

Plus , are available over the counter .

 

In these cases,

prescription options such as Revolution, Revolution Plus, Advantage Multi,

and

Bravecto are more effective .

 

If your pet's

skin

is severely irritated by

fleas

, this method may not be ideal as it may irritate the skin further . You also don't want to apply spot- on treatments to damaged skin .

 

Additionally

, they may not be ideal in homes with young children or curious pets that are difficult to keep away , as you do not want others to accidentally put these products in their mouths while the

treated pet's fur

is

still wet

.

 

Using a flea collar

Old-fashioned flea collars

are no longer used due to the widespread availability of

safer and more effective medications,

but today there is one over -the-counter version worth looking into .

 

Seresto

collars

are available for dogs and cats of

various sizes

. Bonus : This necklace helps prevent ticks and can last up to 8 months . _ _

 

Give your pet a bath

Bathing

your pet will not eliminate

fleas , but

it is a step you may want to consider along with other flea treatments . Bathing can help wash away dead fleas , flea ' dirt ' ( feces ) , and eggs that may remain in your pet's fur .

 

Use a mild

, species- appropriate shampoo and warm water

. There is no need to use flea shampoo . Modern medications are much more effective than flea shampoos . Check the label to see if the flea medication you use has a bath effect .
