More and more dogs owners are looking for natural alternatives for tick prevention.
Pests That Feed on Your Pets. The soft, warm fur of dogs and cats provides the perfect environment for fleas and ticks. These insects feed on your pet's blood and can cause health problems ranging from allergic reactions to serious tick-borne illnesses. Both fleas and ticks are more common during the warmer months, but you can take steps to ward them off any time of year.

Important to have one if your dog/cat goes outdoor often!

Flea Warning Signs: Dogs

• Flea droppings (dark specks) in the fur
• Flea eggs (white specks) in the fur
• Excessive licking or scratching
• Scabs or hot spots on the skin

Flea Warning Signs: Cats

The easiest way to find fleas on a cat is to use a flea comb (a special fine-toothed comb).
Especially check the neck and around the base of the tail. You also can check the belly. You may see the fleas -- small dark spots that move -- or their droppings, which look like specks of dirt.
Lots of scratching and hair loss are also signs that fleas may be feasting on your feline.


How do pets get flea?

Pets can easily pick up fleas when outdoors. Indoor cats can get them even if they just go out on the patio or share their home with a dog.
Female fleas can lay 40 to 50 eggs a day. That can lead to an infestation in days.

Problems!!!

Fleas can take in 15 times their own weight in blood. Dogs or cats that lose too much blood may develop anemia, a dangerous drop in the number of their red blood cells. Puppies and kittens are especially at risk. Signs of anemia caused by fleas include pale gums and lack of energy.

When fleas lay eggs on your pet, some eggs may fall off and hatch on your carpet, bed, or other furniture. The new fleas then target you and your pet, feed on your blood, and lay more eggs. Carpets and humid areas are favorites for fleas. 

Fleas are the most common cause of skin disease in dogs and cats. When a flea bites, it injects saliva into your pet’s skin. This may trigger an allergic reaction. Signs include intense itching, hair loss (especially just in front of the tail), scabs, and red, irritated skin, which may lead to skin infections.
