In response to a recent post I saw about giving your dogs ice in the summer, I found a helpful link from some professionals. BTW… It's okay!

An old Internet rumor resurfaces and has dog owners wondering: Is ice bad for dogs?

Fleas can cause anemia in heavy infestations, especially in young or debilitated dogs. A single female flea can consume up to 15 times her bodyweight in blood over the several weeks of her adult life. In addition, fleas can carry several diseases, including plague, and act as hosts to spread one of the most common tapeworms in the dog and cat.

In normal circumstances the adult female will live up to three weeks, laying approximately 40 eggs per day. The entire lifecycle, from egg to adult flea can be completed in as little as 14 to 28 days, depending on environmental conditions.

Successful flea control involves both eliminating fleas from your dog and controlling fleas in your environment. Dogs and cats share the same fleas, and fleas can travel from one animal to another. So it is important that all pets in your home are on a flea preventative program.

Check back later for tips on treating your pets and your home for fleas.

And remember, at Paws & Claws, we perform flea funerals daily…

Sorry if I've been hard to reach lately. I had taken some time off. But I am back up and running now. Be sure to schedule your appointments as soon as possible. As the weather gets warmer, I get busier. The sooner you schedule, the more likely you are to get an appointment exactly when you want it.
