Did you use flea preventative care before this happened? If so, what brand did you use? I am curious if various type of flea preventative care has different impacts on those fleas. My GSD is on Simparica (monthly oral med) and never got the fleas from the dog park. My GSD goes there bi-weekly for exercise and improving dog socialization.
- Ancalagon 5y agoTo be honest I didn't have them on flea preventatives. I never had an issue with fleas until the past year going to a popular dog park in a temperate area (which I guess means the fleas can live longer than say a desert). Now I have them on the monthly NexGard chewables (prescription from the vet). I havent seen a flea on or off of them in months.
- fumar 5y agoI am not sold on giving our dog oral flea pesticide. We’ve been able to git rid of fleas by increased cleaning (vacuuming all areas once per day), changing the dog’s bedding frequently, and spot removing the adult fleas. Effectively, you want to break the flea life cycle. It is doable without medication, but it requires high levels of upkeep.
