Vigilance is the best prevention for fleas, you shouldn't treat the dog if they don't have fleas. If the dog is scratching then check it for fleas and treat as required, my dog is in the house and i never have an issue with fleas as he gets checked regularly and first signs of fleas he gets treated.

why take the chance of fleas on your dog and in your house for a few quid every 3 month when the treatment has no decrimental effect on the dog and is only benificial. a working dog is in contact with areas were ticks can be caught and fleas of the prey it is trained to catch surely prevention is better than waiting till you see your dog scatching when by this time house and home coulde be infected.

 

Because treating an animal with no fleas is pointless! It also is the reason that treatments like frontline are less effective when an infestation occurs, routine treatments will leave a small amount of insecticide on the dog/pet which may not be enough to kill the fleas, this is then how resistance to products like frontline occurs over time making it much harder to eliminate the problem. If you are living in the same space as the dog then should be checking the dog regularly and you will spot the dog scratching very early and can then deal with it. Like i said already i never have any issues and the dog gets checked regularly and is treated IF and only IF required.

animals scratch when they get an itch same as humans if i checked my 3 dogs every time they scratched and suppose all the other lads on here are the same wouldent have time for much else.

 

 

Use your head man! It is obvious if a dog has fleas due to excessive scratching Some people take things far too literaly

 

As chook says DE is very good and non toxic too
