Flea baths are a pretty common flea treatment, but does that mean your dog has to have one if he ends up with fleas?

Your dog doesn’t necessarily need a flea bath. There is a wide variety of medication that can be used to treat the problem. Topical and oral medications are popular, but you can also try flea wipes and flea collars.

The reason why some pet parents choose a flea bath is because it can take care of fleas right away. By the time the bath is over, nearly all the fleas have been killed and rinsed away. If you choose a conventional medication, you may have to wait 24 hours or more before your flea problem is solved.

It’s best to use a combination of methods. To learn more about all your options, click here, or call your veterinarian Livonia, MI.
