Bathing your cat or dog is always a good way to keep any fleas that could be on your animal from causing an infestation. Make sure that the animal is fully submerged from the neck down for two to three minutes. This ensures that the fleas will drown.

There are also many flea shampoos on the market that will not only kill fleas, but through residual action, prevent fleas from jumping onto your pet for up to six weeks.

As spring and fall are the seasons when fleas tend to strike, taking extra precautions at this time is wise. Even if your pet rarely goes outdoors, such as, for instance, an indoor cat, flea prevention should still be taken into consideration. Fleas often come into a household by hitching a ride on shoes and clothing, and then find a new home on your pet.
