Gentle Paws Design Studio can help. Fleas feed on the blood of our pets. They can irritate their skin not only from the bite and skin infections, but also some pets are allergic to fleas.
Fleas are the most common cause of skin problems in dogs and cats.
If you notice your dog scratching and chewing the back half of its body, check for fleas around the base of the tail, the back side of the hind legs or the dogs stomach. No matter how clean our homes are, our dogs can encounter fleas on their daily excursions outside. They then bring this insect home on their fur and the cycle of infestation starts. These eggs hatch, become larvae, and develop into cocoons where they develop into adult fleas, and the cycle begins again. There are many over the counter preparations which can kill the flea, but do nothing to stop the cycle.
