Thankfully the last few years of his life were flea free. Noah lived to be 18. We had a special area on the sun porch with pee pads for him. We never let him in the grass on walks. We stripped our home of carpet, drapes (we went to short valances and blinds) we replaced old beds and throw rugs. We had the house and yard professionally treated for fleas and other bugs. I made all the dogs new beds (the pillows for their crates and the ones they lay around on) I made them with zippers and stuffed them with cedar chips. Which you can buy in giant bags at Walmart. I also made washable covers. The cover gets changed every week and I replace the chips every 3 months. We also changed to a flea, worm and heartworm preventive called Trifexis. I have not seen one flea in 3 years. This is amazing to me, because we still live in the same sandy flea happy breeding area ! |
EXCELLENT JOB!!! and this is the type of dedication to purpose that it takes to rid your home and property of those NASTY pests!!! and congratulations on Noah living 18 years!!! Fabulous testament to not only great genes, but also loving, attentive, unwavering care!!!
