How to Use a Flea Comb?

Choose a flea comb with very fine, closely spaced teeth

Comb your pet’s fur slowly, starting at the head and moving toward the tail

Focus on areas where fleas hide, such as the neck, ears, belly, and base of the tail

Keep the comb close to the skin without scratching or pulling the fur

After each stroke, inspect the comb for fleas, flea dirt, or eggs

Dip the comb into soapy water or wipe it on a paper towel to remove debris

Repeat the process over the entire body, section by section

Use the comb daily or as needed to monitor and reduce fleas

Wash your hands after use and clean the comb thoroughly

Combine flea combing with a vet-approved flea treatment for best results
