Top 3 Vet Tips to Stay Flea-Free

Fleas can be a blood-sucking nuisance. Here are our top 3 Vet approved tips on how to keep your home and pets flea-free:

Treat All Pets in the Home

Every pet in your household needs flea protection. Fleas can easily move between animals in contact or sharing spaces – which even makes visiting pets and neighbouring animals a risk of flea procurement.

Treat for Fleas All Year-Round

Summer can make flea problems worse, but it’s a myth that fleas go dormant in winter. New Zealand’s humid climate and warm houses mean fleas can thrive in our homes 12 months a year. We recommend never skipping a dose, and keeping to a regular treatment schedule all year round.

Treat Your Pets Correctly

Using flea treatments correctly is important to ensure efficacy and safety. 

• Only use products for your pet’s species
• Ensure the dose is correct for your pet’s weight (We recommend weighing them to be sure if needed)
• Use the product as frequently as instructed to ensure your pet is protected
• Follow the application instructions
• Speak to your vet if you have any questions or concerns. 

These simple rules can help you keep fleas out of your home and off your pets – for happy, healthy pets!
