A big misconception about fleas is that they’re seasonal. Though fleas can be regionally more intense in some months, they never really fully go away. In fact, in the pupae stage, fleas can lay dormant in homes for months! Once fleas have made their way into a home, they’re hard to eliminate. And they’re more than an annoyance, they carry diseases and can harm a pet’s health. Avoid these issues by checking your pets regularly with a fine-toothed comb, using a flea and tick preventative year-round, and treating areas around the home regularly. A little precaution can go a long way to keep your pet (and your sanity) healthy. . . . #fuzzypethealth #pethealth #dogs #cats #dogmom #dogdad #catmom #catdad #fleas #fleaprevention #petparents
