Spring - the rebirth of long dormant vibrant colors, the aromatic
smell of flowers, the call of the blue jay, lush vegetables on the
vine, fruiting trees. It is a time when nature pours forth
all of her glory and beauty. It is also the dawn of a new
season—flea season
Spring brings a re-emergence of that nasty flea waiting to strike
your pet. The blood sucking, irritating little parasite can cause
itchiness, redness loss of hair, flea allergy dermatitis and
misery for your pet. The flea springs to life in the spring and
summer and can make life miserable for many animals.
How can we combat those nasty parasites? Begin with a
healthy immune system. It’s true—fleas are more attracted
to animals with a weak immune system or illness. Provide the best
nutrition, preferably organic, and keep your pet’s environment
natural, and free of chemicals.
Most important, do not use a chemical laden flea collar- since
they contain poisons that successfully kill fleas but introduce
lethal poisons into your pet’s blood stream. Nature sends
the pests but she sends the solutions!
