Woopets' advice: how to protect your puppy against fleas?
Fleas are unwanted guests, which can cause severe itching, irritation and – in the most severe cases – anemia in your little friend.
To prevent a nasty battalion of parasites from invading your puppy's body, we strongly advise you to treat him regularly with an antiparasitic product recommended by your veterinarian, adapted to his age, weight and state of health.
Also remember to treat its living space, because fleas lay their eggs in places frequented by your animal (basket, carpet, blankets, sofa, etc.). Wash its accessories and the interior of your home frequently to limit their presence.
Likewise, carefully monitor his coat and behavior. Small black dots between the hairs, redness or repeated scratching can signal an infestation which requires treatment as quickly as possible to avoid complications.
