Fleas are responsible for a variety of problems associated both with our pets and with humans. They are responsible for spreading parasites to humans called tapeworms if the fleas are ingested. One of the most detrimental problems associated with fleas on your pets is what is known as flea allergic dermatitis (FAD). FAD is one of the three most common causes of allergies in pets. FAD has also been proven to be responsible for making other allergies worse such as food and inhaled allergies. Since pets are often allergic to the saliva of the fleas it only takes one bite to cause this reaction.

Getting rid of fleas can be a very difficult and expensive mission. The only way to properly get rid of a flea infestation in your home and on your pets is to understand the flea cycle. Using a multi module approach to killing the flea population will make sure you do not have any more flea problems.

So we know that our pets help us be less stressed. But did you know that your stress can make your pets sick?

Pets serve a vital function in our everyday life as friends and companions. Caring for our pet should be a high priority in our lives. This includes regular checkups, maintaining their shots, and feeding them a healthy diet. As with humans, a first-rate diet is the most important element of your pets’ well-being.

An organic diet can also lessen the likelihood of diabetes. A high quality healthy diet can also boost your pet”s immune system saving you costly veterinarian bills.
