Now that products such as the Advantage Flea Treatment are on the market, dog owners have more effective methods than ever before for eliminating these blood sucking parasites.  Frontline Plus is another popular product that is known as the veterinarians’ number one choice when it comes to flea and tick protection.  And then there is K9 Advantix, which is the only topical product that not only kills fleas, ticks and mosquitoes, but also repels them.  These treatments are waterproof, topical and only need to be applied once a month.  It is easier than ever for Fido to be rid of fleas and enjoying his dog days without a care in the world.

It is important for dog owners to use products like Advantage Flea because fleas, just like ticks, are more than just annoying blood sucking parasites.  These pests can also make dogs fall ill.  Dermatitis is a skin allergy often caused by flea bites, for example.  Frontline Plus and other similar products can prevent the allergic reactions to fleas’ saliva that causes dermatitis.  If you don’t want your dog to experience the significant irritation, aggravation and itchiness that can lead to frequent scratching and hair loss, then you’d better use something to control those fleas.

Fleas and ticks can carry diseases too, which is another reason to invest in a product like K9 Advantix that controls both of these vermin.  Fleas are known to be carriers of tapeworm larva that can infiltrate a dog’s gastrointestinal tract, for starters.  Flea bite anemia is another one of the conditions that can occur if you don’t prevent fleas and ticks.  Anemia usually occurs in small puppies or with severe flea infestations in adult dogs that cause significant blood loss.  Iron supplementation, blood transfusion or hospitalization may become necessary in severe cases of anemia.  And if it is left untreated, flea bite anemia can even result in the death of the dog.  But most pet owners are responsible enough to prevent these horrible conditions in their beloved furry friends.

Fortunately, products like Frontline Plus and the others mentioned here are very effective and simple to use.  They are also affordable and can even be ordered online so there is no excuse to leave your dog untreated for the prevention of fleas and ticks.
