Before spotlighting the controlling measures of dog fleas, one thing that you should be familiar with is checking whether your dog is infected with fleas or not? Fleas are tiny, rusty brown colored organisms that originate from dry blood. The best way to check is to put some water on the infected region and leave it until the water is completely soaked. After that take a white tissue paper or towel and smear it on the same region and if the tissue gets red that means your dog is infected with fleas. These tiny creatures can give eggs in huge quantities that can affect the dog badly. To keep at bay from fleas, you should make your dog bathe at regular intervals using flea shampoos. Hard combs can play also a crucial role in preventing dog fleas. A hard comb with fine teeth kills the flea when you plunge the comb in foamy water. If your dog feels any kind of irritation while brushing, you can put some Eucalyptus or Aloe Vera to reduce it. Eucalyptus can be very effective as fleas cannot hold its smell, but you need to take care of one important thing. When eucalyptus is applied directly on the fur coat, it can irritate the skin of your dog, so you can mix eucalyptus with half a glass of water to reduce the irritating sensations.

 

Cleaning and vacuuming the dog’s place can facilitate a lot in keeping fleas away from your dog. Moreover, there are several flea sprays available in the market that can be sprayed to control the infection. You should always make sure that the bed of your dog is absolutely neat and clean and sometimes you can also use flea repellant powder on the bed to prevent flea infection. However, one thing should be kept in mind while using such powders, that is, these are highly dangerous for humans, so while using such things, you should take effective measures to keep at bay.

A nutritive diet can also prevent flea infection from affecting your dog. Fleas easily affect puppies and dogs that have a weak immune system. So, you should always feed natural and healthy food to your canine which does not contain any kind of preservatives and colors. While giving meat to the dogs always prefer hygienic food material. In rainy seasons, you can use brewer’s yeast or garlic in the food as it helps in reducing flea’s production, but before feeding garlic or brew ester yeast you should consult your veterinarian about the absolute quantity. These are some easy ways that can help you to prevent fleas from infecting your loving dogs. In case of irritation, consulting veterinary doctor can be very helpful. Moreover, it is always better to seek advice in case of young puppies that have been infected with fleas.
