What You Should Know – Natural Flea Control

Fleas can be one of the most irritating things of having a pet. Your pet also gets highly uncomfortable by them. They can bite your pet and people also. There are many ways to get rid of these fleas which are always become the source of itchiness and annoyances for your pets as well. You should adopt natural ways to remove these unwelcoming guests from your home. There are many chemicals for flea control but these chemicals can be harmful for you and for your pet. That’s why majority of people remain worried once own a pet and do not use chemicals in order to remove fleas from their homes.

If you’ve talked to your vet about why your pet eats grass or looked for answers online or in books, chances are you’ve found many different answers from different sources. Some sources warn of extreme danger, and some simply state that this is a natural thing, and you shouldn’t worry about it. So, what information do you trust? Well, the first step is to separate fact from theory or just plain fiction. That’s not as difficult as it may sound. Let’s look at the most asked question:

Why does my dog/cat eat grass? What we know about this is, frankly, that we don’t know. Until we learn to speak Cat or Dog, we can’t simply ask, “Why do you do that?” Go ahead, try it. I assure you, your pet will give you that look that says, “I can’t understand you. Why don’t you learn to speak?”

So, while there are many theories, the fact is that we don’t have a real answer. That may not be the answer you were looking for, but it is the absolute truth of the matter. We can’t really know if it tastes good to them or if they do it because they need to regurgitate, or simply because their ancestors did it. So, until we learn to better communicate with our four-legged friends, we’ll just have to focus on whether it’s a good or bad thing for our pets. Let the guys and girls in the lab coats worry about why.

See how easy that is? There’s nothing to this scientific stuff, right? Now, let’s take a few more of the questions and apply our newly-acquired problem solving skills:

Is grass an essential part of my pet’s diet?
What we know:

  • Our pets need fiber as part of a balanced diet.
  • Grass is mostly fiber.
  • Cows graze. Horses graze. They don’t throw up when they eat grass. (Rumination doesn’t count.)
  • Horses, cows, sheep and other regular grazers have special enzymes in their systems that help digest grass.
  • Dogs and cats don’t have the above-mentioned enzymes in their systems.
  • Dogs and cats are very likely to throw up after eating a quantity of grass.
  • If ingested grass isn’t regurgitated by a cat or dog, it will be passed, undigested, in the stool.
  • Feral cats and dogs, as well as wild canine and feline animals will graze occasionally and it seems to have the same effect on them.
  • Dogs and cats that aren’t allowed to eat grass don’t suffer any directly related ill effects.

What we might conclude:
While grazing might be tasty or simply habitual for your dog or cat, it doesn’t appear to be necessary for good health. Fiber comes in many forms and if your pet is getting a well-balanced diet, it will include more suitable sources of fiber.

Grooming/Bathing: you should comb your pet on regular basis and trim it’s hair. It will also reduce the risk of presence of fleas and you can easily control fleas
