My pet has been scratching a lot lately, and I think it might have fleas. What should I do to get rid of them?

If you think your pet has fleas, it's important to take action right away.  You can try to control the flea infestation by vacuuming frequently and using bug sprays, but the most effective way to get rid of fleas is to use a veterinarian-prescribed medication. Your vet can recommend a flea treatment that will kill both the adult fleas and their eggs, so that you can keep your pet (and home) from being infected further.

You can try to get rid of fleas from your pet's coat with an over-the-counter flea treatment designed for animals, following the instructions on the packaging. You can also wash your pet's bedding in hot water and treat the area where your pet lives with a safe, all-natural flea spray. Vacuuming regularly and keeping your home clean can also help keep fleas away.
