How can I protect my dog from sand fleas after beach trips?

[]

Answer

Protecting your dog from sand fleas after beach trips involves a few steps. Firstly, consider using a veterinary-approved topical or oral flea and tick preventative that is effective against fleas. After each trip, thoroughly rinse your dog with fresh water to dislodge any hitchhikers, paying close attention to paws, armpits, and groin areas. A fine-toothed comb can help remove any remaining parasites. Regularly vacuuming your home and washing your dog's bedding will also prevent them from establishing themselves indoors. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
