One of the first signs that your dog has fleas<\/a> is mild to severe itching which may lead to skin problems.

Only a quarter of a flea\u2019s life will be spent alive on your dog. The rest of the 4 stages of the flea lifecycle consists of eggs, larvae and pupa. A newly hatched flea will quickly look to find an animal to feed off then beginning laying eggs \u2013 up to 30 a day. If you keep finding evidence of fleas in your home then a series of measures need to be taken to prevent the flea lifecycle. Treat a flea infestation<\/a> in your home by vacuuming your carpets, using an insecticide flea spray and ensure all bedding and soft furnishings are laundered on a hot wash every week. Pay particular attention to dog beds, regularly vacuuming and washing to kill any immature fleas.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
