the subject is fleas, again!
Many people come into our clinic and say that the product they used, whether it was purchased from us or not, didn’t work because they now have fleas again. What most people don’t understand is that the life cycle of a flea infestation lasts from 2 – 3 months. You need to treat every animal in the household during that time. Often people are amazed that their pet has fleas in the first place. They don’t know where they came from, so here is an answer to the question, “Where do fleas come from?” The fleas you see on the dog or cat emerged out of cocoons or pupae, which came from larvae, which came from eggs generally laid six to eight weeks earlier. These eggs can even be brought into your household in various ways, even on your shoe. The flea that is on your dog or cat has never been on another dog or cat. These fleas may be coming from outdoors or indoors, and they jump on the first host that goes by. Bottom line: You cannot win the “flea war” without proper use of treating each dog or cat for 2-3 months.
