Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: pet flea shampoo

If you own a pet, chances are you have had to
deal the nuisance of fleas and ticks. There are
many treatments available on the market now but
consideration must be taken into what treatment
to use as every dog is different. Flea and tick
shampoos do the trick but can contain harsh
chemicals which can treat the bugs but sometimes
will cause damage to the dogs skin especially if
the dog is prone to skin allergens. The natural
option which is an old age remedy is adding
cooked garlic to the dogs meals, this works from
the inside and has been a very successful flea
and tick treatment for many years. Another
natural option is pine tar soap, simply buy the
soap (which can be purchased from a health food
store) and shave some into a trigger spray bottle
and fill it up with water. When sprayed on the
coat this is very effective for killing fleas on
target. Also remember to spray the be bedding to
be sure all the fleas are dealt with. Frontline
is also a great non evasive treatment for pets
and is administered at the back of the neck. It
can be expensive and needs to be used on a
regular basis. There are also hypoallergenic flea
and tick shampoos available on the market and are
very good for dogs with skin allergens. If your
dog does suffer from skin conditions consult your
vet first to be safe. When washing your dog with
a flea treatment, always make sure the shampoo is
the right product for your dog. All dogs are
different and will have different reactions to
different products. If the dog is dirty give
him/her a brief wash with a cleansing shampoo
first so the hair is clean before using a flea
treatment product. Also clean the bedding as well
and maybe use a flea powder or spray to get rid
of any eggs that may be invisible to the eye to
avoid reinfestation of fleas and ticks. Alway
follow any instructions on the product and repeat
procedure if advised to do so as there may still
be eggs in the hair and this will avoid
reinfestation in the dogs hair. When using a
product like Frontline it is advised to use this
as a long term treatment to guard against fleas
and should be followed correctly or the product
may not be effective. If the problem persists,
consult your vet.
