Flea infestations can be tricky to get rid of...

The flea lifecycle is a big reason why a flea problem is so difficult to get rid of. Adult fleas represent just 5% of the flea problem, with the rest hidden in your dog’s environment - such as your dog’s bedding, your carpet and under furniture.

  • Fleas need a blood meal before they can reproduce

  • Fleas jump onto their host, bite and feed immediately

  • They inject “itchy” saliva which is what makes your dog start scratching

  • Female fleas need a full 24 hours of feeding before they are able to lay their first egg

 

Put the squeeze on fleas with Simparica.

Fleas can cause itching and skin irritation, which can be frustrating and uncomfortable for your dog. They can also carry tapeworm and bacteria that can infect other pets, and in rare cases even your human family. If your dog has a flea allergy, it can cause even more intense itching that can lead to hair loss and skin infections due to scratching

 

 

Flea treatment couldn’t be easier

Simparica chews work fast, killing fleas within 3 hours and kills them all within 8 hours1 – giving your best friend a full 35 days of flea protection. Treat your dog with one chew on the 1st of each month. That’s easy to remember!
