Consumer Reports: Give your pet a flea-free summer
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Pet owners are urged to act quickly to prevent flea infestations, which can start with a pet's scratching and quickly spread throughout the home. Veterinarian Dr. Megan Moore warns that flea bites can cause allergic reactions in pets, leading to itching and skin irritation. To combat fleas, start by bathing your pet with a mild soap, then use a metal flea comb to remove any remaining fleas. Regular vacuuming of carpets and washing pet bedding in hot water are also recommended. Keeping outdoor areas tidy can deter fleas, and veterinarians can suggest preventive treatments tailored to your pet's needs.
