I have been reading reviews on the internet and some of the dog flea products do not work. I have 4 dogs, one is an older dog so I need a flea treatment that will get rid of fleas on dogs permanently. My dogs are very active and I have them running around all the time. There is no way I could live with a house full of fleas. The article discusses two pet-safe ways to treat fleas on dogs: Fleatrol and Comfortis. Did you know that fleas can kill a dog?! I personally have experienced it with my dog. It’s a horrifying experience, and if you are a dog owner, it is likely that you would go to any length to get rid of them in your home. However, like most pet owners, you probably question whether whatever treatment you’re using works at all… or if it’s just a waste of money. If only it were that simple to get rid of these tiny parasites! After trying dozens of pet shampoos, flea collars, and sprays, dealing with a continuous flea infestation is frustrating to say the least. It doesn’t help that the internet seems filled with conflicting advice about how to effectively get rid of fleas. How do you get rid of fleas permanently? What ingredients should be used? Is it okay to use this product on my cat? Should I remove the pets from the home when treating? These are just a few of the questions people ask when learning how to deal with a flea infestation. With all these options out there, figuring out what is safe and natural can seem like a daunting task. However, I have compiled all sorts of information including facts and tips, as well as descriptions on exactly what each product contains in this article on how to get rid of fleas forever in your home.
How To Permanently Get Rid Of Fleas On Dog
Introduction
Fleas are a known problem for pet owners, but it doesn’t have to be. As a pet owner, you will almost certainly encounter them at some point. The good news is that there are many ways to get rid of fleas on your dog, and most of them are easy and inexpensive! In this guide we’ll show you how to permanently get rid of fleas on dogs with simple tips and tricks as well as products from brands like Bayer, PetArmor Plus and more…
Fleas are not just a dog’s problem that is easily dealt with. Fleas can be found everywhere, even in your own home and garden.
Fleas are not just a dog’s problem that is easily dealt with. Fleas can be found everywhere, even in your own home and garden. If you have a pet with fleas, it may be easier to just bring the whole family to the vet for treatment than trying to treat them all at home. However, if you want to try and get rid of fleas on your own then here are some tips:
- Vacuum every room in your house at least once a week using an upright vacuum with a HEPA filter bag
- Remove clutter from all rooms of your house including closets and under beds so that there is nowhere for flea eggs or larvae to hide from being sucked up by the vacuum cleaner (flea eggs hatch into larvae)
- Make sure that all bedding is washed thoroughly before being put back on beds since this will kill any adult flea infestations
The flea life cycle.
The flea life cycle consists of the egg, larvae and pupae stages. The adult flea lays eggs on the pet’s skin which then hatch into larvae or nymphs (depending on their age). They feed off of blood from your dog and grow larger in size until they become adults. The adult fleas jump onto another host to continue this cycle. This can be both an animal or human as well as other pets living within your home. It is very important to understand this so that you can properly deal with this issue if it does arise, which most likely will happen eventually either way!
Prevention is better than cure
Fleas are a problem for dogs and humans alike, so it’s important to take steps to prevent them from entering your home and garden.
Even if you never see a flea, there’s still the possibility that they could be present in your home or garden. The best way to deal with this is by preventing infestations before they occur. Fleas breed very quickly, so if left untreated these little bloodsuckers will leave their mark on your dog within hours rather than days!
Check your dog every day for fleas
If you suspect your dog has fleas, check him every day for signs of flea infestation. Check the dog’s coat, ears and tail. Look inside the ears for any dark spots or blood and check around the base of the tail for black specks that are called flea dirt (look at our image gallery below). Also check your dog’s face, underbelly and paws. Finally, look around his bedding, environment (outdoors) and toys for any signs of infestation.
Groom your dog thoroughly.
Groom your dog. Fleas can live on your dog’s hair and be hard to see, so it’s important to brush them out with a flea comb. Use a shampoo designed for dogs that contains pyrethrin or permethrin to kill adult fleas and eggs.
Use a collar as well as other methods of treatment. If you choose not to treat the environment, use an applicator-type spot-on or orally administered product that kills adult fleas on contact; if you’d rather treat inside your home, use a fogger that gets into cracks and crevices where eggs may be hiding; place collars around your dog’s neck to keep him free of new infestations; vacuum often in areas where your pet spends time; spray carpets with insecticides labeled “For Pets” (i.e., pets should be removed during application); sprinkle boric acid powder or diatomaceous earth around doors and windowsills; spray walls with insecticides labeled “For Pets.”
If you have a garden, make sure to treat it regularly against fleas and other parasites.
If you have a garden, make sure to treat it regularly against fleas and other parasites. Fleas and their larvae are especially drawn to certain plants, so keep these out of reach:
- Lilies
- Chrysanthemums
- Cabbage family members (broccoli, cauliflower, kale)
Your dog likes to take a nap on the couch? Make sure to treat the fabric furniture in your home too.
You should also treat the furniture in your home. Fleas can easily jump from a dog’s fur onto furniture and then spread throughout the house.
Once you have treated your dog, vacuum thoroughly. This will help remove any dead fleas and eggs that may have been left behind and prevent them from coming back after the treatment has worn off.
Vacuum everything. Include soft toys and pillows.
Vacuum everything. Include carpets, floors, and upholstery. If you have a vacuum with a HEPA filter that’s great but not necessary. The first step to getting rid of fleas is thoroughly vacuuming all the furniture, carpeted areas, rugs and any other soft surface where your dog spends time. This includes both hard floors and carpets as well as soft toys or pillows they like to sleep on or burrow in when they’re feeling cozy.
Be sure to use the crevice tool attachment on your vacuum cleaner so you can get right down into cracks in the floorboards or between furniture legs where fleas might hide out when no one is looking!
Once you clean the house, don’t forget to wash all blankets and vacuum-cleanable toys in hot water. Anything that can be laundered should be washed at high temperatures (minimum 130 °F). This will kill all existing flea eggs, larvae and pupae on the textile items.

Remember that when it comes to cleaning your house and washing clothes and bedding, anything that can go in the washer or dryer should go through a hot cycle without detergent or fabric softener added. Adding detergent or fabric softener will only make things worse by attracting more fleas!
Conclusion
If you’ve got a dog, it’s almost inevitable that you will encounter fleas at some point.
