Capstar may be used for the treatment of fleas on cats and dogs. It quickly kills adult fleas on the animal and is very useful when you can actually see fleas on your pet. Do remember that the majority of fleas will be in the environment so do use an appropriate environmental treatment as well as Capstar. |

When your pet has fleas it is important to remember that many more will be in your carpets, soft furnishings, pet bedding and in the cracks and crevices of your floor. The only way to eliminate fleas is to control the fleas on your pet and the ones in the environment. For every flea you see on your pet there will be around 100 in the carpet! The main reason that people think their flea product is "not working" is because they have not treated the environment effectively and they are expecting a quicker result than is reasonable. If your pet has a flea problem allow at least 3 months to get things under control if you are doing everything correctly- much longer if you cannot treat all the cats , dogs and rabbits in the household regularly or if you do not treat the environment. Get fleas under control; treat all your pets and the house! |

Ticks should be removed form your pet promptly because they can transmit diseases to your pet while they are feeding. The longer they are left the more likely it is that any diseases they are carrying will be passed on to your pet. If you are in doubt about your ability to remove ticks yourself consult your vet. |

Shampoos and washes may be used to control external parasites. Bathing your dog may also help to keep other allergens away from the skin and help to reduce irritation. |
We all know that we should be routinely treating our pet dogs and cats for parasites but sometimes we can overlook our smaller friends!
Xeno is a product containing Ivermectin which will treat the common internal and external parasites of small mammals and birds. |
