How To Kill Fleas On Your Dog

Use a flea comb

You can use a flea comb to remove fleas from your dog’s coat. First, comb through your dog’s fur in all directions, looking for any fleas that might be present. If you see any fleas on the comb, they will be visible and easy to remove by gently pulling them off the teeth of the comb with your fingers or tweezers. You can also use a flea comb to check your dog’s bedding and other areas where he sleeps or spends time—just run it over these surfaces to make sure there are no hidden pests lurking in wait!

Wash your dog’s bedding

You should wash your dog’s bedding using hot water, soap and a washing machine. Make sure that you do not leave the bedding in the sun or use bleach on it. Vinegar may also damage your dog’s bedding, so be careful. Do not use dryer sheets because they may contain chemicals that will irritate your dog’s skin and make him itch more than he already does after a flea bath!

Vacuum carpets and wash floors

Vacuum carpets and wash floors. Vacuum your dog’s bed, couch, and other areas where he spends a lot of time. Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to vacuum up fleas and other debris from your home. Wash floors with hot water.

If you have hard floors such as tile or linoleum, wash the flooring with hot water (120°F). This is an important step because it will kill any fleas that are on your flooring along with their eggs! Flea sprays can also be used to spray carpets in order to kill off any remaining adult fleas and their eggs before they re-infest your home again!

Treat your home

You can also use flea sprays, flea collars, and flea powders. Flea sprays can be used both indoors and outdoors to kill off the fleas that are on your dog as well as any ticks they may have picked up during their adventures. Treating your home or yard with a spray is also an excellent way to prevent infestations in the future. You can even find sprays specifically designed for dogs that will kill most of the pesky critters within seconds of contact with their fur!

Make a homemade spray for your dog

If you have a dog, chances are you’ve dealt with fleas at one point or another. If your pet is allergic to the bites and your house is infested, it’s time for some serious action. Try this homemade spray that will kill the fleas on your pet and in their environment.

1/4 cup rubbing alcohol

1/4 cup water

1/2 cup white vinegar

With the right resources, fleas don’t stand much of a chance.

Fleas are a serious problem for dogs, and they can make your pet’s life miserable. Unfortunately, fleas are also very difficult to get rid of. If you have an infestation on your hands, don’t worry—with the right resources, fleas don’t stand much of a chance.

Fleas are small pests with long back legs for jumping. They’re usually brown or black in color and about 1/16th of an inch long (0.164 cm). Fleas feed off the blood meals from animals or humans (or both). A female flea lays up to 50 eggs per day in her lifetime; each egg hatches within one week into another breeding cycle that begins when it sucks its first meal from its host’s skin.
