Parasiticides
The flea lifecycle is comprised of four developmental stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult flea. The time it takes for a new flea to develop can vary from as little as 12 days to as long as 325 days. As flea pupae can remain dormant in the environment for at least 6 months, it may take some time for flea eggs to emerge as adult fleas. Adult fleas, the lifecycle stage you see on the pet, make up just 5% of the total flea population. Ninety-five percent of the population is made up of eggs, larvae and pupae, which can be found in the pet’s environment. Flea treatment of all household pets is a year round commitment because fleas can be active in all seasons. When a pet goes outside of the home environment, it can come into contact with fleas from eggs that have been deposited, even several months previously, by untreated pets or wildlife. MONTHLY WORMING: is recommended to help control zoonotic risk from roundworm, and is especially recommended for pets that are considered higher risk (those that meet one or more of the following: have access to the outdoors, live with children, the elderly or immunocompromised, hunt/catch wild prey such as rodents and birds).
