Read MoreWhy Regular Flea and Worm Treatment Matters
Flea and worm prevention is one of the most important parts of routine dog care, and it is far simpler to stay on top of than to deal with an active problem. A consistent treatment schedule protects your dog and your home throughout the year.
- Fleas reproduce rapidly: a single flea can lay up to 50 eggs per day, meaning a small problem can become a full household infestation within weeks if left untreated
- Worms can cause serious health problems if left to develop, including weight loss, digestive issues and in severe cases damage to internal organs
- Regular preventative treatment is far simpler and more cost-effective than treating an active infestation or worm burden
- Most vets recommend monthly flea treatment and quarterly worming as a minimum for all dogs, throughout the year including winter
Choosing a Flea and Worm Treatment
There is more than one way to treat and prevent fleas and worms, and the right choice depends on your dog’s age, weight and how they respond to different application methods.
Spot-on treatments: applied to the back of the neck, easy to use and effective for a set number of weeks depending on the product
- Tablets: a good alternative for dogs that react to spot-on treatments, are difficult to apply to, or swim and bathe frequently
- Flea collars: provide longer-term protection and are a convenient option, though not suitable for every dog or household situation
- Combined flea and worm products: available for convenience but may not suit all dogs, particularly those with specific sensitivities
- Always choose a product appropriate to your dog’s weight and age: using the wrong dose reduces effectiveness and can cause harm
- Our team can help you choose the most suitable over-the-counter treatment for your dog
Frequently Asked Questions
Signs of fleas include excessive scratching, biting at the base of the tail and small black specks in the coat known as flea dirt. Part the fur and check the skin, particularly around the neck, belly and groin. Act promptly if you find flea dirt, as infestations spread quickly.
Most flea spot-on treatments last one month, though some prescription options last up to three months. Treat throughout the year, including winter, as fleas survive indoors in warm environments. Our team can advise on the right product and schedule for your dog.
