This means they&#8217;ll be feeling uncomfortable and could even be at risk of anaemia if they become heavily infested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you know what they say about prevention being the best cure?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s much easier to prevent an infestation than treat one &#8211; so using a <strong>year-round preventive treatment<\/strong> is essential to keeping your dog flea-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-the-best-flea-treatment-for-dogs\">What&#8217;s the best flea treatment for dogs?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a bewildering array of products out there: flea collars, flea spray, spot-on medications, shampoos, powders, even bombs! Which one should you pick?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There are two key factors to successful flea protection &#8211; consistency and correct dosage.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, the best flea prevention for your dog is one that\u2019s tailored to their needs, that you can easily remember to apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-so-what-s-the-solution-nbsp\">So&#8230;what\u2019s the solution?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve been there &#8211; flipping through the calendar, trying to remember the last time you protected your dog and what on earth you used\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>So how do we add consistency and precision to our flea treatments?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Enter the tails.com <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/gb\/treatment\/1680456355\"><strong>Monthly flea, tick and worm treatment! <\/strong><\/a>Created by vets, as a tails.com subscriber you can log into your account and add it to your monthly deliveries, and we&#8217;ll deliver the exact quantity your dog needs, exactly when they need it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, this all-in-one treatment protects from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fleas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ticks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Worms*<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2.jpeg\" alt=\"The tails.com monthly flea, tick and wormer. \" class=\"wp-image-8476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-120x120.jpeg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Arriving in a letterbox-friendly package as a handy reminder, you&#8217;ll never miss a month&#8217;s protection again &#8211; and keep those pesky pests at bay!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>*This treatment doesn\u2019t protect against lungworm &#8211; please speak to your vet to get this treatment prescribed.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-isn-t-my-flea-treatment-working-nbsp\">Why isn&#8217;t my flea treatment working?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re finding fleas on your dog despite using a flea treatment, there are a few things to check before worrying you\u2019ve picked up a new strain of drug-resistant super flea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly it\u2019s important to note that using flea treatment doesn&#8217;t mean fleas won&#8217;t ever land on your dog &#8211; instead, these fleas should die within 24 hours of jumping onto your pet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they are sticking around even with consistent protection, then it might be to do with one of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-application-error\">Application error:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>With spot-on treatments, the application of liquid to the skin is crucial. If most of the vial is squeezed on the coat rather than the skin, then it won\u2019t be as effective. Or it will only be effective for a short time, leaving your pet prone to fleas before their next dose is due.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you&#8217;re parting the hair to find a nice, clean application spot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/unnamed1.jpeg\" alt=\"A dog receiving their monthly flea spot-on treatment \" class=\"wp-image-8477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/unnamed1.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/unnamed1-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wash-off effect:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you washed your stinky hound after they\u2019ve rolled in something pungent recently? If you applied flea treatment just before, there\u2019s a high chance it\u2019s now been washed off before it can be fully absorbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s best to leave 3-4 days after a spot-on treatment before bathing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dog is a wild swimmer, it\u2019s worth noting that flea treatments for dogs contain chemical pesticides that can be fatal to creatures that naturally live in rivers, lakes and ponds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To protect wildlife, keep your dog on dry land for around 4-5 days after a treatment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Environmental flea burden:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you\u2019ve suddenly noticed your dog scratching and found fleas. But every day you\u2019re finding more despite using treatment. Surely that must mean it\u2019s not working?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Actually, adult fleas on dogs are the tip of the flea iceberg. Chances are there are hundreds more flea eggs and larvae in the environment, which continue hatching out weeks after an infestation is first noticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a suitable treatment AND treating your house at the same time is the only reliable way to tackle a sudden or heavy infestation. Even with effective flea prevention for dogs, you might see dead or dying fleas for a while afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resistance?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Most suspected cases of flea resistance can be explained by one or more of the above issues. If you\u2019ve addressed all of those and are still battling a flea problem, speak with your vet about using a different product to help your specific set of circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope this article helps you find the best flea treatment for you and your dog.
