(Denver) I've seen countless frustrated dog parents spend hundreds of dollars on flea treatments. The products you choose seriously impact whether you'll be dealing with fleas again in just a few weeks, especially when it comes to the most common mistake: only treating part of the problem. With so many flea treatment options available, it can be overwhelming to decide which one to try.
As someone who's worked with hundreds of dogs and fleas, I've tested the most popular flea treatments to find what actually works to get rid of the nasty cycle of fleas.
#1 brand took me by surprise, but I can see why stores have already started stocking up on inventory for 2025.
Sure dish soap can drown adult fleas during bath time, but it does nothing to kill flea eggs and larvae breeding in your carpets and furniture. Since 95% of fleas live in your home environment, you're only addressing 5% of the problem.
4. Flea Chews
Flea chews are effective at killing fleas, but they only work AFTER fleas have already bitten your dog. There's no prevention - your pet has to get bitten first before the medication kicks in.
3. Flea Drops
Flea drops are messy to apply and contain harsh chemicals known to have caused serious health problems in dogs. More concerning, some flea populations have been known to develop resistance to the active ingredient, which can make it less effective than it used to be.
2. Flea Collars
Fleas collars contain synthetic pesticides absorbed through your dog's skin 24/7. While effective on your pet, they don't eliminate fleas breeding in your home and have been linked to thousands of adverse reactions in pets.
