Effective long-term control of fleas requires an integrated flea control programme to break the flea breeding cycle. An effective flea control programme includes all the following steps:

1.Treat all pets at the same time: Fleas can readily spread from one pet to another, so it is important to treat all cats and dogs in your household at the same time.

2.Treat your pets environment: Treat your pets bedding and where your pet frequents.

3.Maintain this flea control programme all year round, particularly throughout the warmer, humid months when fleas are most active.

Should your dog continue to scratch during treatment, seek veterinary advice.
