So as some of you may know. I'm moving to the US soon (to Buffalo, NY) There are lots of things I'll have to get used to and unfortunately one of those things is something not very good, namely: fleas!
I've never ever had to treat any of my animals for fleas and neither has anyone I know because, as far as I know, they simply do not live here (in the Faroe Islands that is) Neither do ticks for that matter.
Ticks, however, I understand how to deal with. But I'm a bit more confused about fleas. I've been trying to research online but it's difficult to find anything useful since most of what I find just assumes that your pet already has fleas or that you've at least dealt with it before....
Of course that's important too and I know how to detect fleas and that there are several products you can use to kill them off and then you gotta deal with blankets, rugs etc. etc.
What I keep on wondering though is if pet owners give anything to their pets to prevent fleas in the first place?
And also, what are your personal experiences with fleas (what product would you reccomend/not reccomend and so on)
From what I understand, the occurrence of fleas varies a lot from region to region... so can anyone tell me what I can expect living in Buffalo?
Thanks to anyone who replies!
