fleas wreaked havoc in europe during the middle ages, the parasite claimed thousands of lives that the continent at the time resembled a graveyard..historians later called that time in history as the black death..check your pets.

just goes to show that so small a creature can cause great havoc if not treated early and effectively.

That's why whenever I see one of my pets scratch, I quickly reach out for the flea comb and powder. I don't wanna take any chances.

I also the the same thing, Petmeister but the only difference is that, i don't use flea powder. Just a flea shampoo and a spot-on product.

Is there anything good about fleas? All I hear are the bad ones.
