If your doggy does get fleas it's best to get her treated before she itches too much, which can cause open wounds and scabbing. Ask your vet which products are best. They may recommend a flea fighting shampoo or edible pill your pooch can take. Here are some awesome tips on fleas below:

Even though we have good flea control products, we can’t let down our guard. Fleas will always be around, so here are a few extra tips for winning the flea battle:

1. Become an educated dog owner. Take the time to learn the dirty truth about fleas. Consider these uncomfortable facts from SentinelPet.com:

A) Visible adult fleas represent only 5 percent of the flea population.
B) Larvae are repelled by light and burrow into the cracks and crevasses of your home in flooring and upholstery, where they can remain for months.

2. Learn the symptoms. Flea bites have certain distinct characteristics. The bite may immediately cause a dog to feel extremely itchy.

3. Treat the flea bites. Wash the bites with antiseptic soap, as recommended by your veterinarian, to reduce the risk of infection.

4. Eliminate fleas in all stages. Typical insecticides do not eliminate the pupae.

5. Get rid of stray fleas. If your dog picks up a “hitchhiker” flea while outdoors, use an adulticide medication that kills adult fleas.

6. Regularly check your dog for fleas. Don’t wait until you see your dog scratching.

7. Avoid problem areas. Keep your pet away from areas known to have flea problems.

8. Groom the yard. Don’t just check your dog for fleas — treat his environment as well.

9. Exterminate the home. In-home extermination should focus on upholstered furniture, rugs, and carpeting.

10. Use year-round preventive care. Waiting too long to use preventative treatments before flea and tick season comes around could be dangerous for your dog.
