Why fleas can be dangerous for your dog?
Fleas can cause an allergic condition in some dogs called flea allergy dermatitis (FAD). This skin disease is intensely itchy and can result in hair loss and skin infections. Dogs with FAD can experience intense irritation from even a small number of fleas. That’s why it’s important to maintain year-round flea control in dogs with FAD to prevent further skin issues.
There are two key aspects to controlling fleas: treating the adult fleas living on the dog and addressing the immature stages of fleas in your home environment.
Fleas treatment for your dog
Protect your dog with NexGard® and NexGard SPECTRA®.
NexGard® and NexGard SPECTRA® provide a quick and effective solution to flea infestation. Just one monthly chew can kill fleas within 6 to 8 hours, preventing them from laying eggs and infesting your home. It is important to note that the adult fleas seen on your dog make up only 5% of the total flea population, and a single adult female flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day. Therefore, it is recommended to use flea control products all-year-round to keep your dog and home free of fleas.
