How do fleas get on dogs?
Fleas on dogs may be caused by factors such as dirty and messy living environment, lack of pest control for a long time, and contact with animals infected with fleas. When a dog is infected with fleas, symptoms such as itching, hair loss, biting the bitten area, and decreased appetite may occur. In severe cases, allergic reactions may also occur. It is necessary to regularly apply external pest control products to dogs, and while doing so, ensure that they wear an Elizabeth collar to prevent them from licking the medication and causing poisoning.
Fleas on dogs can be caused by a dirty and messy living environment. When a dog's living environment is dirty, cluttered, and hasn't been cleaned for a long time, it is prone to flea infestation. Fleas are afraid of light and usually hide in dark, warm corners. They are most active when the temperature is above 25°C. It is essential to regularly clean and disinfect the dog's living environment, keeping it dry and well-ventilated. Pest control sprays containing non-泼罗尼 can be used for environmental treatment. However, dogs should be temporarily isolated during treatment to avoid them licking the medication.
Long periods without external pest control on dogs can also lead to flea infections. It is recommended to regularly apply external pest control products to dogs, usually once a month. Products containing non-泼罗尼, selenium sulfide, and pyriproxyfen can be used. No bathing is allowed for three days before and after applying external pest control products to dogs, to avoid affecting the efficacy of the medication. The medication should be applied to the dog's skin after parting their hair. Moreover, flea bites can also spread infectious diseases and parasites, so internal and external pest control is necessary.
Additionally, fleas on dogs may be caused by contacting infected animals. Fleas can jump from one pet to another, so it is best not to take dogs outdoors and expose them to unfamiliar pets to reduce the risk of infection. It is also necessary to avoid contacting items used by infected pets. If there are multiple pets in the house, they should be temporarily isolated and their belongings boiled for disinfection.
