BIG savings on popular picks

Despite popular belief they can’t, fleas can survive and thrive during the winter, particularly indoors. Heated houses and warm environments offer an ideal breeding ground, specially humid spaces. So taking effective steps to rid your pets (and your home) of fleas will greatly reduce the chance of an infestation.

The importance of regular treatments

Here’s the most important thing to remember: by treating your pet all-year round, you’ll be controlling flea infestations in the most effective way possible. There are many types of treatments available: from collars to flea shampoo, spot-on solutions to tablets – all hugely effective and easy to obtain.

If undecided, spot-on treatments are one of the most popular options, simply because they’re convenient and easy to use. They are applied directly to the scruff of your pet’s neck (with fur parted) and then reapplied approximately every four weeks. A good example is Frontline Plus, which kills both fleas and ticks and contains IGRs (insect growth regulators), meaning it also stops flea eggs and larvae from developing.
