Herbal DogTips & Products for Your Herbal Dog

Dog fleas are one of the biggest hassles of owning a pet. An itching dog is an indication that your it may have fleas. Fleas can infest your home by getting into the furniture and carpets. They do bite humans and if you an infestation in your home, they will even jump on your legs – yikes!

Fortunately, there are a number of ways that you can treat dog fleas. Two of the most popular products are Frontline flea and Advantage for dogs. Both of these treatments, which you put on your dog, can kill fleas for up to a month on your pet.

What can also happen is that when you put the treatment on your dog, the fleas will start jumping off. If the fleas have been bothering you and your dog for a while, they may also be in the carpets waiting to hatch a new batch when the weather is warm. If your house is also infested with dog fleas, you will want to have the carpets and furniture treated as well.

I don’t like flea bombs, which are the canned flea treatments for homes you can find at the grocery store, because they only kill the fleas that are alive when the bomb is used. This means you will have a new infestation and fleas on dogs again in the near future. In addition, the stuff smells terrible and it’s may be harmful to breathe for you and your pets.

One of the most successful ways to treat your home to minimize future issues with dog fleas is with a product called Fleabusters. This is a fine powder that is brushed onto the carpet. It attaches to any flea larvae dehydrating and killing them.
