Dog Fleas, Ticks, Lice, and Mites Treatment | VioVet

The most common external parasite affecting dogs is the flea. Every dog will pick up the occasional flea. Given the chance, fleas breed and can build up huge populations during the summer. Dog fleas often go unnoticed until there seems to be a massive outbreak, which then takes a while to eradicate.  The most effective dog flea treatments available contain Fipronil as the active ingredient. Frontline Spot On was the first product like this. Now there are others that work in exactly the same way, such as Fiprospot and Effipro.  FRONTLINE Plus and Fiprospot are available in packs of three or six doses, whereas Effipro comes in packs of four or 24 doses and tends to be the most economical product to use. Indorex is our recommended household treatment. It is often said that there will be 100 fleas living in nooks and crannies around a home for the every one flea found on a dog or cat. For these reasons, it is important to treat the problem regularly with flea treatment for dogs, even when no fleas are visible, in order to prevent flea numbers from accumulating behind the scenes. Using a household spray once per year (such as Indorex flea spray) and vacuuming carpets regularly will help. Do you have a cat too? Discover other pet drugs online, including cat flea treatment.
