not as good as I thought
|
I recently discovered that my poor doggies were infested with fleas! My bf and I decided to bathe them (cause I noticed that they were scratching more and that they smelled) and we killed about twenty five fleas (using Hartz flea and tick shampoo) off my 8 pound Chihuahua and at least fifteen off my sixteen pound Italian Greyhound. I came to my apt last night and saw a few fleas that were lying around (I was extremely upset!), so I went to Ralphs and was so excited to see that there is an OTC flea medication for dogs (Hartz). I bought the ones for my dogs and applied them last night (about 27 hours ago). I also got flea spray and powder to kill those little buggers that decided that they would later bite my dogs. I am still seeing fleas on my dogs!
I usually use Advantage, but, even if I ordered them last night, I would still have to wait for them to arrive. I wish I would have waited! I don't know if maybe it just takes a lot longer for Hartz to start working (unlike advantage, I check the next day, and I cannot find any fleas because it starts killing them within the hour that you put it on!) and I just am impatient (I really want them to die), but I expected more from Hartz. Although, they cost about ten dollars for three months of applications, I now feel like I have to wait almost a month to put the good stuff on!
I was reading up on these stupid fleas and one flea can bite upto 400 times a day! That means that a dog having 10 fleas can be bitten 4000 times in a day! Imagine the 25 that were on my poor dog (10,000)! On average, a flea's lifespan is two to three months. However, pre-emerged fleas (not living on a pet) can survive undisturbed and without a blood meal for more than 100 days.The female flea can lay 2,000 eggs in her lifetime. That means that if all 53 million dogs in the United States each hosted a population of 60 fleas, the U.S. would house more than six trillion flea eggs. Laid end-to-end, those eggs would stretch around the world more than 76 times! It's important to kill fleas before they get a chance to lay eggs. The female flea consumes 15 times her own body weight in blood daily. The largest recorded flea is the North American Hystrichopsylla schefferi. Found in beavers, it can measure 12mm in length - almost 1/2-inch!
Just a little bit of info :)
