Do I Need to Flea Treat My Pets in Winter?

With cold temperatures, and everyone spending more time indoors, it’s easy to think that your pets and your home are safe from fleas – but think twice!

You may not see fleas, but they can lay dormant during colder temperatures, waiting for the right, warm moment to hatch and take a meal from your pet. 

Modern-day homes are kept warm and toasty year-round, making inside our home a prime space for fleas to cause havoc 12 months a year. Fleas love our well insulated, heat-pumped homes, and bury into our carpets and make themselves at home.

It’s always easier to prevent a flea infestation than it is to try and treat one in your home. Flea products can provide up to 8 months of protection in one treatment, meaning it’s never been easier to keep your pet flea-treated all year round.

Fleas can cause more than just an itch. They can cause allergic reactions, skin irritations, flea allergy dermatitis, and even transmit tapeworm! Save your pet from the risk and discomfort of being infected and protect them with a flea prevention plan.

There’s a huge range of safe flea-treatment options available for your pets. Shop our range, or feel free to reach out to our team of veterinary nurses who can help find the best fit for your pet
