Flea Product Works

How do I find a good flea product that works?

Seek the advice of your veterinarian to find SAFE flea prevention products, your Pet's health is important.  There is a difference between the products sold through the veterinary hospital and products sold at a general store.  Also, fleas have to have contact with the skin to die from ANY of the flea controls.  Often, people forget to treat their homes.  Fleas prefer fur, so even if no human is getting bit, it doesn't mean that there aren't any fleas in the house.  For every flea you see on the Pet, there are up to 1,000+ eggs in the environment.  Use FirstShield, Comfortis or Frontline from your veterinarian (for your flea prevention medicine on Pets) and also treating your home and potentially your yard. Please note that Comfortis is specified for use in dogs only.
