Did you know?

Fleas can jump over 200 times their body size... yikes!

Fleas are very small insects that survive by drinking blood. You might have trouble spotting adult fleas on your pet, but “flea dirt”, the dark dusty droppings of adult fleas, is a sure indicator that your pet is infected.

If your pet has fleas, groom them with a fine-toothed comb to get as many fleas off their fur as possible. You can kill the fleas by dunking the comb in hot soapy water - crushing them increases the chances you’ll get sick. 

Certain medications help kill fleas, or inhibit certain parts of their lifecycle.
