Fleas are an unfortunate fact of life and are one of the most common causes of skin disorders on Australian pets. A flea infestation can occur very quickly, particularly during the warmer months (October – March) when fleas become more active.

Excessive biting by fleas can cause blood loss, skin irritations such as flea allergy dermatitis, and even transmit other parasites such as tapeworm. But while these parasites are a nuisance, destroying them and preventing reinfestation is easy provided you break the flea breeding cycle.
