With the onset of warmer weather cat and dog owners are getting anxious about increase of flea infestation, unfortunately whilst we are encouraged by our Vets to use a variety of sprays, drops and shampoos, most of them are made from extremely noxious chemicals that will create more harm than the flea itself.
It is preferable to make sure the dogs immune system and general health is in good order and then the flea aspect should be far less of a problem, if at all.
Now is the time, before the summer weather, to start to improve the dog or cat’s general condition and using items such as vitamin C supplement, garlic oil capsules or fresh garlic, alfalfa and some other herbal or vitamin preparations can greatly reduce the incidence of flea allergic response.
