Flea dangers

Fleas are not only annoying to your Corgi but they are dangerous.

Some dogs are allergic to the flea saliva and just one bite from a flea can make a Corgi's life miserable. An allergic Corgi will scratch until there is hair loss and skin lesions, soemtimes making the area raw and bleeding. A Corgi ingesting a flea causes tapeworm. If left untreated, tapeworks can infest a Corgi's intestines.

Good, recommended flea preventative drugs are a must.
