What is the best way to capture and remove fleas?


  • Use a flea comb when grooming your dog, because these parasites are too small to be captured by an ordinary comb.
  • Pour some water into a disposable container, such as a yogurt container, and tip any fleas that you catch into the water, so that they cannot escape.
  • A high-tech alternative is a stun comb that knocks the flea out and pauses to allow you to remove the flea form the dog's coat.
  • External flea traps don't control fleas on your dog, but are intended to catch any of the parasites that have hatched around the home and are seeking a host.
