Fleas can cause problems for pets ranging from minor to life-threatening. Not only can these parasites cause severe itching, irritation, allergies and even anemia, but they can also transmit tapeworms and other diseases. Fleas can infest dogs, cats, and many other pets, as well as people! Further, flea infestations are very difficult to get rid of once established. Every pet in the home must be treated for fleas, the home must be cleaned extensively and it can take months to get rid of a heavy flea burden.
