  1. Understanding the Flea’s Life Cycle:
    • Fleas go through four life cycle stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.
    • One female flea can lay up to 2,000 eggs, which hatch in one to 10 days.
    • Different flea treatments address different parts of this life cycle, so read product labels carefully.
  2. Preventive Measures:
    • Flea and Tick Preventatives: These products kill fleas on contact, preventing your dog from bringing them home. Options include flea collars, topical liquids, and pills. Consult your vet for the safest choice.
    • Regular Bathing and Brushing: Keep your dog clean to reduce the risk of fleas.
    • Limit Outdoor Exposure: Minimize your pet’s time outdoors, especially in areas with high flea activity.
    • Check for Fleas Regularly: Regularly inspect your dog’s coat for signs of fleas or flea dirt.
    • Vacuum and Wash Bedding: Regularly vacuum your home and wash pet bedding to remove any fleas or eggs
