Why Your Pet will be Itching to get out!

Sunnytime is ideal for fleas - with the warmth and moisture in the air, they can rapidly multiply, going from egg to adult in just 14 days! 

An inquisitive cat or dog that gets too close to wildlife could get more than just a hit on the nose, as a flea may take the opportunity to try a new host – your pet!  

With all this fine weather, you can guarantee there will be plenty of doggy friends out and about and ample opportunities for your pooch to socialise. For our feline friends, though, it means more enemies could be lurking. Defending their territory will be their top priority! All this close contact provides the perfect opportunity for fleas to be shared amongst friends (and adversaries!).

The increased activity and warmth outdoors triggers young adult fleas to emerge from their cocoons, which have been hidden away in the soil in your gardens and local parks. 

Newly emerged fleas have only a few days to find a host and secure their first blood meal, else they will perish! This quest is easy to fulfil with so many hosts to choose from – including your pet sunbathing in the garden, blissfully unaware of the hive of activity in the grass beneath them!

Enjoy spending time outdoors. Just remember to keep your pet protected from fleas, by applying a FRONTLINE^® Plus product regularly.
