• You definitely would have seen a fly-like
  creature crawling on your Fido or perhaps some
  small speckle-like bump on his skin?
• These fly like creatures are fleas and the small
  bulged out speckles are ticks that are deeply
  attached to your dogs skin.

• Here are some amazing ways you can eliminate
  these parasites from your dog and also prevent
  them from recurring.

Topical Treatments and Preventatives

• Topicals or spot-on treatments are applied to
  the dogs skin at a specific place viz. between
  shoulders. Highly effective in eliminating fleas,
  ticks, and their immature forms, topical
  treatments work for a month. When continued for a
  year, these products also prevent infestation
  from recurring. Some of the best Topical products
  include Frontline Plus, Advantix, and Advocate.
  However, make sure to keep the kids away from
  your pet while the ointment is applied to the
  pet.

Oral Tablets and Chews

• Oral tablets are great for pets that are
  restless and show reluctance towards ointments.
  You can simply put the tablets or chews in their
  mouth and they would easily gulp it down.
  Besides, you wont have to worry even if the kids
  play with the pet after you have treated him.
  Oral treatments again work for complete one month
  and some of them, in fact, provide protection for
  three months.

Collars

• A non-fussy way to eliminate ticks and fleas
  from your pet is the use of collars. This
  snugly-fitting gadget contains chemicals that
  repel parasites. So when a collar is worn by the
  pet, those chemicals diffuse into the pets
  underlying dermal tissues. Pets who love to
  frolic outdoors can just wear it and go out and
  about without being infested.

Flea and Tick Shampoos

• Bathing your furry pal can be fun but not when
  they have fleas and ticks on their skin. Use of
  shampoos specifically meant for warding off these
  parasites can support in removing the
  infestation.

Sprays

• There are two categories of sprays available in
  the market. One that is formulated for pets and
  the others that can be used for protection of the
  household. However, be extremely careful when
  using sprays. They shouldnt come in contact with
  the eyes of your pet or anybody for that matter.
