Manhattan Beach Fleas

Fleas are a very common parasite that cats and dogs endure. Unfortunately, if left untreated your pet could experience health problems. They can bring about unwanted and unhealthy conditions including:

  • feline infectious anemia
  • tapeworm infections
  • cat scratch fever/bartonellosis
  • anemia from blood loss

Cat scratch fever can be passed on to humans, causing health problems for the pet owner. Fleas aren’t always easily discovered, unless an infestation is present. Then you will likely see the fleas jumping around you. Obviously, you want to deal with them before the problem develops into a serious infestation. They are great jumpers (up to 6 inches vertically) and is how they travel from one host to another.

Treating for Fleas in Manhattan Beach

For anyone that has ever endured a flea issue, it’s likely quite apparent that they’re no easy pest to defeat. It does require patience and time to fully eradicate them from a property; especially if you have pets. When you do require flea treatment for your property and you do have pets, make sure they’re being treated at the same time. A quick visit to your vet will help them get the best treatment. Because adults are typically found on a host, it’s important your pet is treated or they will continue to carry them around, leading to them multiplying and the problem consistently sticking around.
