FLEAS......A HEALTH MENACE TO BOTH PETS AND HUMANS

FLEA SEASON IS NOW IN FULL SWING

Since fleas are the most devastating problem for our pets in the Williamett Valley, we recommend that you take quick action against them by visiting your veterinarian and asking for the lastest pill or topical product.  Your veterinarian carries the safest products on the market.  Many cheaper producs available are more chemical ladden and can cause major health risks plus many are a waste of your money because they are ineffective.  Pet Paws rarely recommends chemical solutions to problems but fleas are the most serious health issue for both pets and humans.  Because of the seriousness of the flea problems for dogs and cats, this is your first and foremost line of defense once the fleas begin to make your dog or cat itchy and sick.  Flea allergies are hard to get under control once it has attacked the immune systems of your pet.
Second line of defense for  the problem of  fleas, is to take care of the dogs environment with natural means, such as Diatomaceous Earth and safe natural sprays, shampoos, and bedding sprays.  Chemical flea bombs may be in order for your home if there is a serious infestation.
Thirdly, bath your pet regularly to keep your pets coat and skin healthier and clean, therefore less attractive to fleas in the first place.
NOTE:  A good quality diet that is low or no grain also keeps your pets smelling better.  At Pet Paws we recommend a fresh diet first, canned pet diets with meat as the main ingredient second, and a high quality, clean ingredient low or no grain kibble.
Take care NOW and avoid the terrible traumatic and expensive illnesses that can follow with a flea infestation.
