Flea Meds Question?

Question

If it's applied to one area, how does it kill all of the fleas and mage?

I use Revolution. :P

Answer 1

It works with the oils in the skin to distribute all over the pet. A "dirty" dog works better. Apply your flea products 2 days before or 2 days after a bath.

Answer 2

Because it spreads throughout the entire skin. It does this via the sebaceous (sweat) glands of the skin. It takes 24 hours to spread throughout the entire skin and kill all the fleas on the animal.

Mange is caused by mites that burrow in to the skin. Revolution enters the body systems via the skin which is how it can kill deep skin parasites like sarcoptic mites, and intestinal roundworms.

Yep, there's enough in that tiny vial to spread throughout the whole skin and into the body.

Answer 3

Flea's do not actually live on your dog, they live in your carpet's furniture, and your home!! They only jump on the dog (or you) to feed. A good flea treatment, will go into the dog's bloodstream, and when the fleas feed from your dog's blood, it kills them. Some will also make flea's sterile, so they cannot re-produce, and will eventually render your home flea free.

Answer 4

It gets into their bloodstream and stays there for about a month and kills live fleas on contact. Some medications, deworm, prevent mange, and prevent ear mites, PLUS ticks. Depends on which medication you buy. It works through the bloodstream.

Answer 5

soaks to the skin and runs thru the blood which will kill the fleas

Answer 6

It soaks in to the blood system.

Answer 7

It soaks into their skin.
