The Texas environment is ideal for the proliferation of fleas. The summer months are particularly severe as the parasites increase in number and make their way onto our pets and into our homes and yards. It is important to keep in mind that there is no single product that can control fleas in all three areas. However, with the development of new, once-a-month flea control products such as ProMeris and Revolution, flea control for dogs and cats has become relatively easy. These products are available by prescription at Pet Vet Animal Hospitals for dogs and cats.

When the once-a-month prescription flea control products are used, insecticides such as foggers and premise sprays are usually not required except to immediately reduce large flea infestations in a particular area of the home or yard.
