So you have picked up a new cat or dog from the shelter or from a breeder. You have seen it play around with its toys. You have walked your pet around your block and you are thoroughly enjoying your cat or your dog`s company. Suddenly out of nowhere, you start seeing your dog or cat scratching itself furiously. The truth of the matter is fleas and ticks are a fact of life when owning cat or dog. You may keep the cleanest house or maintain the best hygiene but fleas, ticks, mites and lice always somehow find your pet at least once in its lifetime. That is just the reality. However, there are many things you can do to combat flea and tick infestation.

The most effective is a comprehensive proactive solution. Even if your pet had a bout of flea or mite attack, be proactive and put on a flea and tick collar on your pet. If an attack does happen, not only should your pet its collar on, but you should also employ flea powder and flea shampoo. Using this three-tier protective system, you knock out fleas and ticks regardless of their life cycle. A flea collar handles only adult fleas and ticks. You need the other components to knock out these pests in their life cycles. A good flea shampoo for your inclusion in this holistic pest control program is the Natural Chemistry De Flea Shampoo Concentrate from Pet Store.

Just give your cat or dog a bath as usual and use this as a shampoo. It is hypoallergenic and also relieves your pet`s skin irritation. Just a note of caution, when using on a cat or kitten, always rinse after your spray it especially in the area around the mouth.
