Can my dog get fleas/ticks just by walking around the block? Is 1 monthly bath enough?
Can my dog get fleas/ticks just by walking around the block? There are other dogs in the area (all owned, no strays), he’d be walking on the sidewalk and possibly through other people’s yards.
Dogs of course can get fleas from other dogs….since the fleas can fall off the dog that just passed and your dog comes by and picks it up…but baths aren’t that great….first they don’t kill fleas at all and you could get a flea infestation without knowing it till they are on your leg…so go to the vet and get the little bottles of flea stuff that is appropriate for your dogs size, age and weight…this will go on his back between his shoulder blades and its good for a month or six weeks. Now depending where you live if you get snow then you don’t need it during the winter…my little Chicklet doesn’t need that stuff at all I dont’t take him where other dogs go in the grass just on pavement…fleas don’t live on the pavement…
Personally I use this the most…
