THE FLEA LIFE CYCLE

Where do dog fleas come from?
Did you know that just 5 fleas on an untreated pooch can lead to more than 1 million eggs infesting your home in only 4 weeks*? Gulp. But where do fleas come from?Most fleas come into contact with your dog from the environment around them. From the garden, to the pub and the park, it can feel like nowhere is safe from the blighters. Wildlife such as foxes, hedgehogs, squirrels and rabbits can be flea-carrying culprits, bringing them into your garden ready for your dog to pick up.Anyone who comes into your home (human and pet alike) can unknowingly carry fleas in with them. Believe us when we say prevention really is better than cure. Flea eggs can lurk within your home for up to 5 months before hatching. So even if you think you have treated a flea infestation, it could still come back unexpectedly. Break the cycle with Itch - the UK's personalised flea treatment subscription for dogs. Our Itch Flea spot-on treatment for dogs attacks fleas at EVERY life stage.
*Based on an untreated pet having 5 fleas not being groomed off, each laying 50 eggs per day, developing into new fleas in 14 days and new fleas jumping on and laying more eggs.

How to tell if your dog has fleas
Symptoms of flea infestation in your dog can include itching, scratching, visible flea dirt, hair loss from overgrooming or skin irritation. It can also include mysterious insect bites popping up on you, as well. 5 fleas on an untreated pet can lead to 1 million + eggs infesting your home in as little as 4 weeks*. That’s why it’s important you give your dog their flea treatment every month to stop any unwanted lodgers moving in.Top tip: If you think you’ve found flea dirt, run a damp cotton wool pad over it. If the dirt turns red, those fleas aren’t dead. This means you’re dealing with a live infestation.Our double action, spot-on flea treatment for dogs, Itch Flea, kills adult fleas within 24 hours, halts all other flea life stages in their tracks and stops any new fleas from infecting your dog, protecting your pooch until their next monthly flea treatment. Plus it kills ticks and lice!

WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO PROTECT YOUR DOG FROM TICKS
Ticks are a threat because they carry serious diseases including Lyme Disease, Babesiosis and Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus (TBEV) all of which can cause severe health complications for you or your dog.
To help avoid the transmission of tick-borne diseases, you need to remove a tick as soon as you can. The longer a tick is latched on to your dog, the greater the risk of them infecting them with dangerous bacteria.
Itch Flea kills ticks within 48 hours – dramatically reducing the chances of them transmitting a nasty infection. Remember to remove all ticks, dead or alive, carefully with a tick remover as soon as you find them.

WHAT ARE TICKS AND HOW COULD MY DOG GET THEM?
Ticks are small, spider-like creatures whose bodies become larger as they feed on the blood of your dog. They will vary in size from 1mm to 1cm long.
Ticks lurk in long grass, bushy undergrowth and wooded areas. They climb on to vegetation and hang out there, waving their legs around, until your cat brushes past. Once on board, ticks sink their jaws in and drink their host’s blood until they’re full – this usually takes around 7 days but they’ve been known to cling on for up to 3 weeks.
-
HOW DO I CHECK MY DOG FOR TICKS?
You’re probably going to feel ticks on your pet before you see them. When your doggo gets home, give them a stroke and check all over their body for any small bumps.
The most common places ticks latch onto are:
Under your dog's collar
Inside their ears
Around their groin
Under their armpits
Under their tail
Between their toes
Really, anywhere their fur is less dense and they have easy access to your furry friend’s flesh!
These creepy crawlies can be tricky to spot if they’re inside your dog’s ears so it might be helpful to use a torch to get a proper look into their ear canal when you’re checking them over.
-
IS ITCH FLEA SUITABLE FOR BREEDING AND PREGNANT DOGS?
