How To Remove Dog Fleas

Introduction

I remember the first time I found fleas on my dog. I was absolutely mortified, and I knew that there was no way I could stay calm about the situation. There are many ways to remove dog fleas, and it’s important to try a few of them before giving up hope for your furry friend.

Bathe dog with flea shampoo.

Bathing your dog with a flea shampoo is the easiest way to remove fleas. It’s also the most effective method of removing fleas on a long-term basis. The key is to get the proper shampoo for your pet, one that will fit their size and weight. After you’ve done that, follow these steps:

• Wet your dog thoroughly before putting in any shampoo or other product into their coat
• Apply the shampoo as directed by its manufacturer (usually by massaging it in)
• Rinse thoroughly with lots of water after allowing some time for it to soak in

Groom out all the fleas, eggs and larvae that you can, and then ask a vet about using one of the following products.

The best way to get rid of fleas is by using a flea comb.

• To use a flea comb, start by parting your dog’s fur in sections and gently combing away from the body toward the tail. Fleas are more likely to be found closer to the skin than they are on top of it; therefore you should move slowly so that you do not miss any fleas at all! Since eggs and larvae tend to be more difficult to see than adult fleas, repeat this process again once all visible adult insects have been removed as well.
• Once done with this step, go back through each section again with a fine-toothed plastic comb or toothbrush (make sure it’s clean first!). While doing so take note if there were any particularly thick patches where many eggs or larvae had been deposited – these should be treated with an insecticidal shampoo immediately after removing them from your pet’s fur since these pests would otherwise return faster than expected!

Use topical flea prevention products.

• Flea prevention products are applied to the skin, and are used to prevent fleas from biting a dog.
• Flea prevention products can be applied to the skin, or in the ears or between the toes.

Examine your other animals.

Fleas aren’t just for dogs; other animals, including cats and rodents, can also be infested with fleas. If you have another animal in the house, examine them carefully too.

If your other pet has fleas (and if so, you should see small black specks on their fur), they could reinfest your dog and make their condition worse. You’ll have to treat the other animal(s) as well as your dog if that’s the case.

Use oral medications–like Capstar and Comfortis–that kill adult fleas in as little as 30 minutes.

Oral medications for dogs can be used to kill adult fleas, flea larvae, and flea eggs. The most popular oral flea medication is Capstar.

Capstar works by attacking an insect’s central nervous system with a single dose of the drug. It works very quickly to kill adult fleas and doesn’t leave any lingering effects on your dog’s health or behavior. Because the formula is so strong, Capstar may not be appropriate if your dog has other underlying health issues like epilepsy or hyperthyroidism.

Comfortis is another popular oral medication that works similarly to Capstar (though it has been shown to last longer). Like Capstar, Comfortis should only be used as a short-term solution until you find a more holistic approach for preventing further issues in the future.

Get rid of fleas in your home by vacuuming floors, furniture and rugs often to remove eggs, pupae and larvae.

Vacuuming is a great way to remove fleas from carpets and rugs. Vacuuming also helps you kill larvae, pupae and adult fleas by sucking them into the vacuum cleaner bag.

When vacuuming, be sure to empty the bag right away so no more eggs are sucked up on future vacuuming sessions.

Some people prefer to use a steam cleaner instead of a regular vacuum cleaner because they don’t damage the fibers in carpets or rugs as much as sucking action does. You can also use hot water with dish soap in a bucket or sink filled with water for washing carpets/rugs outside with some force behind it.

Wash any bed linens that have been touched by your pet in hot water and dry them on high heat to ensure they’re free of pests.

You will want to wash any bed linens that have been touched by your pet in hot water and dry them on high heat to ensure they’re free of pests. This process is important because while fleas may not survive the wash, their eggs are more resistant. If you have a large infestation, we recommend using a flea bomb in addition to washing any bedding and cleaning upholstery in your home.

Apply Flea Away to dog’s collar or treat your pup to a chewable tablet once a day for complete protection from fleas, ticks, mosquitos and more!

Flea Away is a chewable tablet for dogs that kills fleas, ticks, mosquitos and other pests. The tablet can be used on dogs over 6 weeks old and puppies.

There are many ways to remove dog fleas, so it’s best to try a couple methods before giving up!

Here are some ways to remove dog fleas:

• Try a number of methods to see what works best for your pet.
• You can use a flea comb to remove the adult fleas, then treat the area with products that repel or kill them.
• There are many natural options available, but they may take longer than chemical treatments.

Conclusion

Remember, if you have any questions or concerns about treating your pet’s fleas, contact your veterinarian. Don’t hesitate to call for help!
