Unlike last year which was dry, this summer is especially bad for fleas because of the extreme heat and humidity we’re getting over a prolonged period of time. These conditions are ideal for fleas to breed rapidly, meaning you or your pet are much more likely to catch fleas. A female flea can lay up to 50 eggs a day when it’s warm and humid, quickly turning a couple of pests into a full blown infestation. 

So many pet owners have dealt with fleas this summer, and if you’ve had fleas yet, don’t hold your breath. Fleas spread quickly between pets and people because they can jump 100 times their body length. The only way to avoid a flea infestation is by using flea treatment for cats or dogs, and do this regularly to keep fleas away. Let’s explore what are the other reasons fleas are bad this summer and the best flea treatment for dogs and cats!

The government warns pet owners to beware of fake flea treatments that contain toxic chemicals. Counterfeit flea treatments are being sold by third-party sellers online to UK pet parents and are poisoning cats and dogs. 

Fake flea treatments are not regulated by the Veterinary Medicines Doctorate (VMD), which means they are not scientifically licensed, proven or approved.
