Tips for use
Treating your pack for fleas is only one step in the flea and tick prevention process. Use every tool in your toolbox for ultimate flea control.
Flea comb: Use this tool to remove fleas from your pet’s coat and dip it in warm, soapy water between strokes. You can also use it to part their fur to apply topical treatment to their skin and perform regular tick checks after wooded hikes and walks.
Degreasing soap: Use the soap in a warm bath to suffocate adult fleas and remove flea dirt from your pet’s coat. This will work better than a mild pet shampoo, but should not be used as a long-term solution. You can also use it to remove other topical flea and tick products like collars and squeeze-ons before applying ours. We recommend waiting at least 24-48 hours before AND after applying flea treatment to bathe your pet.
Topical treatments: Topicals are best for killing and preventing fleas. Always consult your veterinarian to be sure it's right for your dog or cat. Apply topical treatment at the same time every month for year-round prevention. Be sure to treat EVERY dog and cat in your home and follow the instructions on the box. But, keep dogs and cats separate after treatment (permethrin is toxic to cats).
Household spray: Household spray will kill fleas and prevent them from developing. You can apply this spray to your baseboards, carpets, underneath furniture, and your pet’s belongings. Our household spray covers up to 2,000 square feet and prevents bugs in the home for up to 7 months.
Treats: Your dog deserves a treat after dealing with fleas. Use these tasty tidbits to apply topical treatment, perform tick checks, and for extra love, enrichment, and overall training.

Protect every pet with monthly flea medications (even if they live indoors)
Vacuum carpets, floors, and underneath furniture regularly
Wash your pet’s bedding, blankets, and toys often
Have your home and yard treated with pet-friendly insecticide
Consult with your veterinarian if your pet gets reinfected
How do I continue preventing fleas?
Year-round prevention is key to keep fleas, ticks, and lice from reinfesting your pets and home. Consider a subscription such as PetFriendly to get your pet's flea and tick prevention delivered to your door at the same time every month.
Also, make sure every cat and dog is treated in your home. If your pack interacts with unprotected animals (tame or wild), they can risk getting reinfected.
What diseases can an animal get from fleas or tick bites?
Aside from skin irritation from fleas biting your pet — fleas and ticks carry many diseases that can negatively impact their health. But, most diseases are preventable with monthly flea and tick protection.
Lyme disease
Lyme disease is a very common tick-borne disease carried by blacklegged ticks.
Flea allergy dermatitis
While it isn't something a flea carries, dogs and cats can get flea allergy dermatitis — a common skin infection that happens when animals are allergic to fleas and their saliva.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever
Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a tick-borne illness. An infectious bacteria called Rickettsia rickettsii, which causes RMSF, transmits through both nymph and adult American dog and brown dog ticks.
What types of flea and tick prevention products are out there?
Many products on the market help kill and prevent fleas. The most common flea and tick products are:
Flea collars
Flea sprays
Spot-on treatments
Oral medications
Injections
Consult with your veterinarian to determine the best fit for the health of your pack.
