The most common pet issue that I see are the notorious fleas. Pet owners tend to have mixed knowledge on how to treat these parasites and are often in denial that their beloved fur baby could have parasites. Generally, the pet will present with areas of alopecia (hair loss) associated with itching, gnawing or over grooming. The pet and environment will have been treated with over the counter medication from a pet shop or online and the owner will be perplexed as to what is causing these skin lesions. Unfortunately, over the counter flea treatments and environmental medicines do not work against these creepy crawlies and can be a complete waste of time, effort and money. A Veterinary licensed flea treatment and household spray is the most effective way to treat this common pet issue. Educating owners to treat their pets with the correct type of product is always the key to solving this dermatological mystery.
