And going out with your lovely pets means knocking on the doors of pesky pests.<\/p>\n<p>But this doesn\u2019t mean you have to miss out on endless summer fun by staying indoors.

The warm weather is the perfect time for the flea population to explode because the flea life cycle speeds up during this time. Fleas are very difficult to get rid of, and therefore, now is the time to plan against these nasty parasites.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Symptoms <\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Excessive itching<\/li>\n<li>Redness<\/li>\n<li>Flea allergy dermatitis<\/li>\n<li>Hair loss<\/li>\n<li>Hot spots<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Treatment &amp; Prevention<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>There are various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadavetcare.com\/dog-flea-and-tick-treatment-1.aspx?utm_source=intblog&amp;utm_medium=seo&amp;utm_campaign=summer-parasite-prevention-in-dog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>flea prevention treatments<\/strong><\/a> for the treatment and prevention of fleas.
