If you have a pet, you probably notice fleas. Even inside pets can get them, and once they get established they can be difficult to get rid of. They suck blood from your pets, they can bite you as well, and they just seem nasty and unclean, not to mention annoying. If you want to treat fleas on your pet, there are several ways that you can do that. Shampoos are one of the most common choices for pet owners who want to kill fleas that are already on their pets. For dogs this is not too bad, but for cats it can be a hassle. Most cats won't put up with being bathed. The other downside is that these products can be dangerous for puppies and kittens and they stop working once they are rinsed off. Very few of them have residual effects, and they only treat the fleas that are present at the time. Another way to kill fleas is through the use of powders and sprays. These work a little better because they have more residual effects, but powders can be messy and most pets don't like staying still while they are being sprayed. You might end up more coated than your pet.
If those don't seem like good options for you, you can try a flea dip. This will definitely kill the fleas and have some residual effect, but you have to be careful. Flea dips are very toxic and not following the directions careful could harm you and your pet. The easiest and best choice are the systemic. These are usually a small vial of liquid that is applied to the back of the neck. They work to kill fleas and eggs, and they also repel them, so your pet won't get more. They can be costly, but most are very safe and very effective, so they are worth the extra money.
