Which Flea Treatment Brand?

With so many flea treatment brands, trying to choose the right one can be overwhelming.

Don't fear however, we have a clear and concise description of all of the main ones in our Product Brands section, and to get some things in mind to be thinking about, check out the "buying flea treatment" in our Treatment Tips section.

Know your enemy!

When you are waging war against fleas, just like any other war it is important to know your enemy. If you don't, you might end up only treating the fleas on your pet and allowing the developing fleas in your house and garden to keep growing, meaning the infestation will continue. For more information on your enemy, the flea, see our General Info section.

Flea Treatment Methods

The main decision you have to make when considering flea treatments is whether you are going to use chemical solutions or non-chemical solutions. Chemicals are generally faster but contain risks to your pet, while non-chemical treatments tend to be slower but safer. Sometimes it is better to use fast-acting techniques to get rid of the fleas quicker, sometimes you can afford to take your time. See the Treatment Methods section for more information.

Topical Flea Treatment

Topical Flea Treatment As you probably already know, topical in this sense does not mean that it recently appeared in the newspaper or on the cover of Time Magazine; no, topical flea treatment is anything that is applied to the surface of the body.

There are a variety of different products available that are classed as topical flea treatment, and this article will go through the main ones. A word of warning first, however: although this class of treatment can be very effective, it is likely to irritate the skin of your pet and so any attempt to lick the applied product off (by your pet, although you shouldn’t try to lick it off either) should of course be resisted.

One of the best treatments for this does a lot at one time. The TriForce product (for Fleas, Ticks and Mosquitoes, hence the name) will not only get rid of fleas, it will repel mosquitoes and ticks as well. This topical flea treatment may be used on cats or dogs, however that is not the case for all of them so read the packaging of whichever you buy carefully. For example, a product which also affects fleas and ticks as well as fleas is K9 Advantix Flea and Tick, but this product should only be used on dogs. Advantage Flea Control, on the other hand, may be used on cats and dogs, and kills fleas at all stages of their life cycle. Other good off the shelf items are Original Frontline Top Spot, Promeris Tick and Flea Control, and Revolution for flea and heartworm control.

There are lots of options so it is a good idea to ask around to see which one might be best for your pet, and your vet would be a good place to start. Remember that some pets get allergic reactions so keep a special eye out the first time you use a product, and again, be careful that you pet does not ingest any of the topical flea treatment.
