Flea control for multi pet households in New Zealand
Introduction
When you have more than one pet, gaps appear if everyone is on a different schedule. Set one house dose day and run a light, repeatable cleaning routine. Prepared with input from our lead vet and founder, Dr. Feargus McConnell, BVSc.
One calendar for the whole house
Pick a date you will remember and treat every pet on that day. Keep products together in one box, note the next due date on each pack, and set a repeating phone reminder.
Quick setup
-
Weigh every pet and confirm the correct weight band
-
Record last and next doses
-
If you use any long acting option, add a mid-interval reminder
Dogs and cats under one roof
Use dog products for dogs and cat products for cats. After you apply a cat spot-on, keep pets apart until the site is dry. If your dog wears a collar, check the fit weekly so it stays snug.
Cleaning that helps the products
Vacuum rugs, sofa seams and car mats and empty the vacuum outside. Hot wash bedding and favourite blankets and dry thoroughly. If you have seen fleas, keep this weekly rhythm going for three months while hidden stages clear.
