Are Fleas a Problem for Dogs During Winter in Frisco?
November 26, 2019
Frisco might not see the world's coldest winter temperatures, but that doesn't mean that flea treatments for dogs should stop when the days become shorter. In fact, fleas can live in a warm house all year round.
These pesky critters can even live outside when the temperatures don't consistently drop below freezing. No matter the time of year, pet grooming plays a critical role in protecting your beloved pets against a flea infestation.
Flea Treatments During the Winter in Frisco
Many dogs spend the majority of their days in the outdoors. Racing around the backyard, going for hikes or even standing on the sidelines to watch a soccer game can introduce your pets to fleas and ticks.
Unfortunately, fleas can also enter your home on the backs of your pets, on your clothes and on your shoes. The first step in protecting against the harmful impacts of fleas and ticks is to understand how they can negatively impact your beloved pet.
Did you know that fleas and ticks are more than a nuisance? Fleas and ticks can cause painful bites and trigger various health issues, including:
Rashes and inflamed skin that is more susceptible to infections.
Skin irritations that won't go away and are prone to bleeding from excessive scratching.
Skin that becomes scaly and/or covered in scabs.
Prolonged periods of discomfort.
Behavioral issues caused by itching, discomfort and in some cases transmitted diseases or illnesses.
Our mobile dog groomer uses flea and tick treatments that are environmentally friendly and non-toxic. These treatments can be used to eliminate fleas from your pet while simultaneously protecting them in the future. Increased protection is especially important if you have children who love to play with their pet.
Fleas and ticks can jump from your dog to the children, and in some cases, can spread harmful diseases or infections, such as Lyme's Disease. The good news is that the right flea treatments can protect your entire family by killing and preventing these harmful pests.
The best part about our flea and tick treatment is that it can be easily incorporated into your winter dog grooming appointment. Your dog will look and feel his best, while also receiving the protection that he needs to live his best life.
Meanwhile, you can avoid the harmful and chemical-ridden products found at your local Frisco supermarket, in favor of our pet-friendly, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly flea treatments.
