“NOT YOUR AVERAGE VET”
June 2013
Fleas Fleas Fleas Yeah
Summer is here and fleas are a growing problem in our area. With the warm winter we had they seem
to be an even bigger issue than before. There are a number of things you can do to help prevent a flea
problem on you pet and in your home.
Treat the yard
You will want to treat shady areas, damp areas, doghouses, and other areas your pet spends most of its
time. Treatment is most effective when the ground is damp but be sure the area has had time to dry
before allowing your pet back in it. Repeat treatments every 3-4 weeks, always following specific
product guidelines. We recommend Over and Out. It is available at local lawn and garden retail stores.
Treat the house
We recommend you use a professional exterminator but if you choose to do it yourself then we
recommend KNOCKOUT spray for your home. We carry this product in our clinic and have had great
success with it.
Treat your pet
Keeping your pet on a monthly flea preventative year round is important. We carry several options
when it comes to flea prevention.
All your pets should be treated at the same time. It is important to treat your yard, house, and pet at the
same time using appropriate products for each. Don’t waste your time or money on over the counter
products and quick fixes because most of them won’t work. Below is a list of products we recommend
and carry. Also I have included a printable file for you to keep on FLEA CONTROL. We hope this helps
you and your war on fleas. Thank you.
