When should flea prevention be started, and should it be used year round?
Flea prevention is recommended according to an animal’s environment. If fleas are a concern, prevention can be initiated as early as 8-10 weeks depending upon the product used. In Michigan, where fleas are prevalent, year round prevention is recommended. For good control and prevention, every dog and cat in the household should be included in the eradication or prevention. The house and yard should also be considered a part of the treatment protocol.
