Fleas on dogs and cats! These small dark brown insects prefer temperatures of 65-80 degrees and humidity levels of 75-85 % -- so for some areas of the country they are more than just a "summer" problem.
The flea information presented here will focus on treatment for and prevention of fleas, which, let's face it, is just as important to the pet as it is to the pet's owner! How do you know if fleas are causing all that itching, fleas can be seen scurrying along the surface of the skin? Dark copper coloured and about the size of the head of a pin, fleas dislike light so looking for them within furry areas and on the pet's belly and inner thighs will provide your best chances of spotting them.
