How to Get Rid of Fleas on My Dog

By Dirk Gruenberg


As part of dog health, flea control is essential. Have you ever suffered from bites? Bites of any sort? I am sure you have, and I know I just hate them. Can you imagine what a dog goes through when it is bitten by about 50 fleas!

Hence, flea control is really important for our dogs and for the family because a flea ridden dog is not a healthy dog to have around the family.

Fortunately, though, there really is no reason why dogs should suffer from fleas today anymore, because there are excellent flea control formulas on the market. But here is something that dog owners need to understand:

The fleas that are on your dog will need to be killed, but so will the eggs. Don't forget to get rid of the eggs, too. This can be done in a rather simple step-by-step procedure. Here's how to do it:

First, get a flea solution for the dog - the ones that place a drop at the back of the neck work well with no unnecessary bathing in burning solutions - keep up this practice for ever.

Second, have a solution ready to put in some hot water and wash out the kennel and tip the water/solution all over the ground area around the kennel.

The third step is taking care of your house inside. You may not get around using a pest bomb. If so, simply prepare your house as stated on the instructions for use.

The whole house needs doing as there will be flea eggs in the carpet, in the bedding, in the cracks around the room edges and anywhere else they can go.

Fourth, wash all the bedding to get rid of the bomb residue and flea eggs. The bedding is a popular place for fleas to be. So wash it thoroughly to make sure you actually got rid of all of them.
