The internationally recommended flea prevention and killing drugs for dogs are also effective in preventing and killing most of the kinds of ticks that abound. I didn't think fleas were absent in any country other than in areas that are in the polar regions. In fact if the climatic conditions are over 44F (7C) at any time of the year anywhere in the world, fleas will readily breed, thrive and spread. Is there any part of the USA which never gets to 44F. I don't think so unless it is the sparsely populated northern part of Alaska. Cats (if untreated) are a greater source of fleas than are dogs.
