Any owner of a cat or dog has at least once in their life encountered such a scourge as fleas.
This is probably why pet owners think they know everything about this parasite. In reality, the situation is somewhat different.
For example, among cat and dog owners there is still a myth that in winter a pet cannot become infected with fleas.
It is difficult to argue with this statement, because these “bloodsuckers” are really not found on the street during the cold season.
Instead, they overwinter in warm areas with suitable humidity levels, such as a hallway, basement, or attic.
Therefore, unfortunately, your furry pet can catch fleas at any time of the year.
In this regard, I would like to destroy another myth that fleas allegedly live on a pet permanently.
In fact, parasites are on the animal only when they need to satisfy their hunger.
The rest of the time, fleas jump off their host and prepare to lay eggs. For this reason, if you want to get rid of parasites, treat not only the animals, but also the premises.
