Your Columbia vet knows that you want your pet to be as comfortable as he can be. This is why you make an effort to prevent your dog from getting fleas. In doing so, you’ve likely come across many different methods. Which is right for your pet?

The most popular methods for flea prevention are topical, and are placed on your pet’s back on a monthly basis. They offer pretty good protection against parasites and aren’t very labor intensive to upkeep. Other methods include shampoos and collars. These are relatively low cost and can help with targeted prevention and treatment. Other options include sprays and powders, but these will require a little more effort on the part of the pet owner, as they will need to be reapplied more often than other methods. Your choice of flea prevention method will depend on your unique pet and her individual circumstances. Check out the website of Claws N Paws Animal Hospital for more information.
