What are the newest flea control measures?
• Program® Flea Control (tablets and oral paste) Given once monthly by mouth, Program® stops female fleas from producing live eggs. Program® can effectively reduce flea numbers in the environment and works best in animals maintained in tightly controlled areas (like houses and enclosed yards) with minimal opportunity for exposure to other animals who might bring in “fresh” flea populations. • “Spot on” controllers. Applied once monthly (usually on the pet’s skin between its shoulder blades) these products spread over the skin and kill fleas for extended periods. Two such products are Revolution® and Frontline Top Spot®. Frontline Top Spot® has added advantage in that it aids in tick control.
