Unfortunately, fleas and ticks are a problem in the United States, which means your beloved pets are in danger of contracting these pesky parasites. Fleas can cause Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD), a skin disorder in which itchy red lumps appear all over your pet's body (read more about it here). Ticks are also extremely harmful because they can transmit Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses.

This is why using Flea & Tick Prevention for your pets is a crucial element of getting rid of fleas and ticks in your house. This medication works excellently on dogs, however, if your pet has flea allergy dermatitis, flea bites, or flea dirt on dogs, you should use natural flea and tick therapy.

Flea and Tick Prevention Tips:
Here are some more amazing flea and tick prevention tips.

• Fleas flourish in wet environments, so keep your home dry and cool to avoid an infestation.
• Vacuum the carpets periodically, especially along the margins of rooms where fleas cluster. Also, clean behind furniture that is tough to move.
• Check that that all animals are up to date with their immunizations, because if one pet has fleas, they most likely have all.
• Take care to inspect pets for ticks when they return from outside, especially during the hot summer months.
