What we can confirm:

• This survey has shown that Southland has a significant flea problem.
• The flea numbers increased through summer as expected.
• Nearly 1 in 6 animals had fleas or dirt present.
• Some clients are using flea powders and shampoos, these are short acting and often no longer effective.

What we we recommend:

• Consider using a long acting flea control like Bravecto.
• 6 month treatments will ensure treatment throughout the warmer months.
• Treatment in the spring (Sept/October) with a long acting product like Bravecto on all your dogs and cats will result in good flea control throughout the warmer summer months.
