You are playing with your pooch and having a great time, you have just thrown the ball and he/she is running towards the ball to fetch it and suddenly you observe that your dog after catching the ball throws it away and starts scratching and biting his/her body. This is a time to get alarmed and quickly have a check for flea infestations on his/her body. Just part the fur of the area where your pal was scratching and if you see small brown colored creatures consult your vet immediately. Those creatures are blood-sucking parasites called fleas and these parasites can infest on cats and dogs both. Vet might suggest different types of treatments like oral or topical. Many vets directly suggest spot-ons which are topical type of treatments like Advantage, Frontline Plus, Revolution and Advantix. But before you buy a spot-on, you need to have an idea of the advantages and disadvantages of a spot-on treatment. Advantages Of Spot-On's
Disadvantages Of Spot-On's
Every treatment has its own advantages and disadvantages but it’s up to you to use them with precautions. The spot-on treatments are very effective and provide extra-ordinary results if used in a proper way. Fleas are very dangerous because your pet can lose huge amount of blood under heavy flea infestations. Hence, choosing an appropriate spot-on for your pet is very important. Consult your vet regarding the product and he/she will tell your which spot-on will suit your pet’s skin. Once you have treated your pet with a flea treatment you can again continue the game and throw the ball and command your pal to go and fetch and he/she won’t stop in the middle. In the case of cats they will not really bother about the ball or Frisbee anyways.
