My pet has fleas. How do I deep clean my house to remove them?

A combination of using a vacuum every other day, flea powders or "bombs" and treating all animals that come into the house with a good-quality monthly flea preventative. After you vacuum, remove the bag and throw away outside so the fleas don't crawl back out. Vacuuming will help remove eggs to prevent hatching and the vibration attracts fleas from out of the carpet. Don't forget to get under beds, couches, tables, etc. https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-tips-to-get-rid-of-fleas/

What floor cleaners are safe for dogs if they lick the floor?

Most common household cleaners are safe when diluted according to the instructions. For example, properly diluted PineSol - if Lucy drank straight from the mop bucket, she would likely have vomiting and diarrhea, but it is unlikely to be fatal. So if you keep her out of the mop bucket and attempt to keep her away from the floors until they are dry, you should be fine!

Dog has worms. How to clean home and prevent reinfection after treatment?

Hello. Most worms are obtained through the fecal-oral route. Boudreaux ingests something contaminated with fecal material & worms are deposited in his gut, so try to keep him from picking up sticks & debris to chew on. Tapeworms are primarily obtained from fleas. Fleas on your pet's coat feed on tapeworm larvae, your pet feels a flea, grooms it off & swallows the flea & tapeworm. Or, he can pick up tapeworms from hunting & eating small prey. All the house needs is a good vacuuming, & use a good flea product on a regular basis. If you do not use a heartworm preventative, consider using something like Interceptor Plus, which will deworm your pet every month for all the common intestinal parasites. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Best cleaner to kill ear mites in my house before my new dog arrives?

Ear mites are transmitted from animal to animal either when the cat shakes its head and mites are thrown around or when direct contact occurs between an infected animal and a non-infected animal. Your carpet and furniture can receive ear mites from your pet, but chances of their survival are minimal. The ear mites can only live in the ears and a few other specific parts of the body. These mites cannot survive for a long period of time in external environments off the host animal. I personally would not worry about this being an issue but if would make you feel better to treat the environment then I would use this product. It does not specifically state on the label that it kills ear mites but I assure you it will. http://www.allivet.com/p-1389-knockout-es-area-treatment.aspx I hope this helps. Best wishes.
