Fleas are extremely common parasites among dogs and cats. Fleas bite their host animal and suck the blood for nutrition, leaving saliva behind under the pet’s skin. Recent scientific studies have shown that flea saliva contains around 15 different allergens – making life very uncomfortable for unfortunate dogs and cats! For some animals, all it takes is just one flea to set up a flurry of scratching and discomfort – also affecting the condition of your poor pet’s coat!
Fleas flourish in moist, warm conditions and are often a problem in the coastal areas. Each female flea will lay 20 eggs at each time which means that in her lifetime she will lay between 400 and 500 eggs (1 flea has the potential to produce 500 fleas!!!!!) During unfavourable conditions such as cold winters the pupae stage of the lifecycle may survive for several months and the adult flea can also go without a blood meal for several months, (no wonder these are tough little critters to get rid of)
As if causing itchy, painful bites on your pet wasn’t bad enough, these jumping insects also transmit tapeworm. So, remember to de-worm your pet at the same time as treating for fleas. See Parasite Dr.™ for more information.
The natural way
The obvious first step is to do as much as possible to keep your pet flea free. To get to the root cause of this condition it is important to rid your pet of fleas entirely. As a conscientious, holistic pet owner you are no doubt aware of the potential side effects of using topical pesticides on your furry friend in order to control fleas.
Unfortunately when your pet has a bad reaction to flea bites, the pesticide is the lesser evil as all the FleaDerm in the world will bring your pet no relief if those pesky fleas keep on biting. Please use a veterinary prescribed flea repellent (preferably one that is bad for the fleas but not for your pet!) and follow directions closely.
Certain herbs and other natural ingredients have been used by herbalists for thousands of years and can be of great benefit to your pet. These remedies can help to soothe the skin and support skin health without the risk of side effects, making them a safe solution for your pet.
"Cassie, my youngest cat, has a severe allergy to flea bites and her suffering during the warmer months was terrible to see. Although I always use every available product to keep her clear of fleas, it just takes a chance encounter with one flea (A common occurrence in a house with lots of pets) and she would be in agony for weeks. I used your FleaDerm for her and wanted to let you know what a wonderful difference it has made to her skin- it soothed the flea bites quickly and really seemed to relieve the itching. Within about a week the area had almost completely healed. Thank you- I am re-ordering this product today!" Marjorie
Your PetAlive FleaDerm remedy has helped my Staffie so much! In the past she used to spend half her day scratching and biting at her skin - even rubbing against trees and other rough surfaces she could find - to the point that her skin became red, raw and weepy. Her hair started to fall out and she ended up with little bald patches all over her! After embarking on an intensive flea-ridding program as well as using your FleaDerm cream on her skin the situation has almost completely resolved. I must just wait a few more weeks for hair to grow back properly now! It is fantastic to see her comfortable and playful again - thanks for a wonderful remedy!" Holly
