FAQs

How often should I treat my dog for fleas and worms in the UK?

Dogs should be treated regularly to prevent flea and worm infestations. Flea treatments are typically applied every four weeks and worming treatments are often recommended every three months. However, puppies, dogs that scavenge, or those at higher risk may need more frequent worming. The exact schedule depends on the product used, so always follow the manufacturer's instructions or consult your vet for further advice.

What are the signs that my dog has fleas or worms?

If your dog has fleas, you may notice frequent scratching, biting at the skin, hair loss, or tiny black specks (flea dirt) in their coat. You might also spot fleas moving through their fur. Signs of worms include weight loss, a bloated stomach, diarrhoea, vomiting, scooting (dragging their bottom on the ground), or visible worms in their stool. Some dogs may not show obvious symptoms, so regular treatment is essential to prevent infestations.

How to get rid of fleas on dogs?

Getting rid of fleas on dogs requires a combination of immediate treatment, ongoing prevention, and environmental control. Fleas can cause itching, irritation, and even health issues like anaemia and skin infections, so prompt action is essential.

The most effective way to eliminate fleas is to use a vet-approved flea treatment. Options include:

  • Spot-on treatments – Applied directly to the skin, these kill fleas quickly and provide long-lasting protection.
  • Oral tablets – Fast-acting pills that kill fleas within hours and often require a prescription.
  • Flea shampoos – Useful for an immediate solution but do not provide long-term protection.
  • Flea collars – Some collars release flea-killing ingredients that last for several months.

Always follow the dosage instructions based on your dog’s weight and age.
