How To Kill Dog Ticks And Fleas

After talking with Dr. David Conklin, I’ve decided to write a guide on how to kill dog ticks and fleas on dogs. Ticks and fleas are easy enough to spot on your dogs, but it’s the flea and tick products you’ll find in stores that can be confusing. What can treat more than one parasite? How long does it take to start working? And what will work best for my dog? Mostly the dog owners experience at some time or the other situation when their lovely pet dogs are taken over by fleas and ticks. This can be quite distressing for you and your pet. The best way for you to get rid of this problem is to control fleas and ticks on your dogs. There are a number of dog tick and flea control products available on the market, but before making the selection you should consider a few things about them. Despite your best efforts, every once in a while, it happens. Your dog gets fleas or ticks and you’re just about ready to pull your hair out. But there’s no need for that. We are here to help you get rid of those pesky little creatures once and for al

How To Kill Dog Ticks And Fleas

Brush Your dog

The best way to get rid of fleas and ticks is to prevent them from getting on your dog in the first place. Brushing your dog regularly is a great way to do this.

Flea combs are an excellent way to help keep fleas off your dog, especially if you have long-haired breeds or dogs with thick coats. The stiff bristles of the comb will remove dead skin, dandruff flakes and loose fur so these can’t be used as hosts for flea eggs or larvae.

Using a shampoo containing insecticides helps kill the existing fleas before they lay more eggs, which makes it easier for them to hatch when they’re placed on your pet again later on in life (or even just days). A good shampoo should also be able use its own sudsing action as extra protection against new infestations by drowning any parasites that happen upon them while bathing!

There are also many other products available today that can help keep pests away from both humans and animals alike; such as sprays/powders/collars etc…

Wash Your Dog

The best way to deal with ticks and fleas is to prevent them from ever biting your dog. Wash your dog regularly and use a flea and tick shampoo that is safe for your pet, or at least as safe as possible. Be sure to wash all of their bedding, toys, collars etc., in hot water as well.

Make A Flea and Tick Killer Solution

  • You can make a flea and tick killer solution at home.
  • The solution works well for ticks, but not as well for fleas.
  • It is safe to use on humans and animals alike, although you may want to wear gloves when applying it to your pet’s fur.
  • If you have more than one pet, it is best to treat them all at once so they do not become reinfested with ticks while waiting their turn in the bathtub.
  • Spreader sponges are inexpensive tools that help distribute shampoo evenly across your dog’s coat during bathing sessions—and they work just as well when applying tick-killing solutions!

Check For Ticks Regularly

Check for ticks regularly.

To combat ticks, you should check your dog every day. Use a flea comb to check the back of their neck and armpits, as well as both sides of their belly and groin area. If you have a long-haired breed, check their ears and tail too. Check other areas of the body such as between toes, in folds or under ruffled fur where ticks often hide out during the day (as opposed to sleeping on top like fleas do). Finally, make sure to look at your dog’s bedding for any signs of live ticks or larvae before putting them down for the night!

Ticks can also be found in other areas around your home so take precautions by thoroughly vacuuming carpets and furniture regularly (especially when pets come in from outside) since this will suck up any hitchhiking bugs along with dead skin cells that might otherwise attract them from afar!

Checking for ticks regularly will also help you avoid them in the first place, as it’s easier to take care of a tick once you actually notice it.

If your dog has fleas, or if they’re in an area where flea control products are not available (like at home), we suggest using a flea and tick killer solution that can be sprayed on the skin or applied directly to the fur. Flea and tick sprays are great because they target both adult insects and eggs/larvae – so even if there aren’t any adult insects present yet, this will prevent them from hatching!
