Should Dogs Be Treated for Fleas in Winter: Veterinarian's Advice
Just because most insects hide underground and in other shelters during the winter doesn't mean dogs are safe.
Even in frosty winter, a dog can catch fleas. Therefore, additional protection cannot be neglected. For this, antiparasitic treatment is carried out and clothing for animals is used.
It's freezing outside, but warm in the front halls. Snow is melting on the doormats - this is an ideal breeding ground for fleas. Flea protection should be year-round, - veterinarian Dinara Barkhatova told the TV channel "Saint Petersburg".
In winter, you shouldn't wash your dog too often, says a veterinarian. However, the dog can pick up fleas in the entryway.
Therefore, it is better to take your dog for a walk in clothes.
For many breeds, clothing is a necessity, but pets with thick undercoats can do without overalls.
In addition, to protect paws, you need to use shoes or special creams and ointments.
The paws are treated before a walk, and then the wax is washed off and the paws are dried.
