DE-FLEA YOUR PET
1. Use a flea comb. If you suspect your pet has fleas, go to the pet store immediately and get a flea comb. It is good to have a flea comb on hand anyway. Pets like to be combed, and if you catch fleas right away, then they are easier to control before they begin to multiply.

Flea combs are sold in all pet stores. They come in all sizes and have teeth that are very close together to trap the fleas.

Here’s how to use a flea comb. Put your pet in a comfortable position and have a bowl of soapy water nearby. Comb through your pet’s fur, making sure you include all areas, then drop the fleas in the soapy water (flush down the toilet when you’re through).

By using a flea comb you are not only removing the adult fleas, but any larvae and eggs that are still on your pet as well. This process may take some time, but use it as an opportunity to communicate love and care to your pet and enjoy giving it the attention it needs. Comb your pet daily until you see there are no more fleas.
