Fleas can be a bigger problem during the summer months when the temperature and the humidity are relatively high. These are predominantly found in the skin of the pet animals such as dogs and cats. Though they cannot fly, they have strong hind legs that enable them to hop from one animal to the other. Fleas can cause serious hitches such as itching for the animal. Some of the health complications followed by fleas’ manifestation to an allergic animal include severe hair loss, skin infections and inflammation.
Flea collars to prevent the flea incursion
Prevention is better than cure. Flea collars are a part of this prevention process for the pet animals that are more prone to these fleas. In such a case,
it is important to ask the question,’ how does the flea collar work?’ The flea collar may work by either of the following two methods;
• The first type prevents the manifestation by diffusing a gas that repels these pests by a process known as repelling.
• The second type involves treating the skin layer of the dog through medications that kills these insects before or after they come in contact.
