Fleas and Ticks on Your Dog or Cat in an Abu Dhabi Villa
If your dog or cat is scratching and you see tiny dark jumping insects or small bumps on your ankles, fleas have probably moved from the pet into the home. Start with the animal and your vet, then wash bedding hot and vacuum carpets and sofas often. Friends does not list flea or tick control as a separate service, so this guide is general advice, with a clear note on where we can help.
How do fleas get into a villa?
Mostly on a pet that has been in the garden, on walks or in contact with other animals. Adult fleas stay on the animal, but eggs drop off into bedding, carpets and sofa cushions, which is why the problem seems to return after you treat the pet alone.
What should I do at home this week?
• Ask your vet for a flea and tick plan for your pet. • Wash pet bedding and throws on a hot cycle. • Vacuum floors, carpets, sofas and corners daily and empty the vacuum bag outside. • Keep the garden trimmed where the animal rests. • Do not use a dog product on a cat or the reverse. Some can be harmful, so ask your vet.
Where can Friends help?
Friends does not list flea or tick control as a service. We can inspect the home for other insects, and deep-clean carpets, sofas and curtains, which removes the dust and debris fleas hide in. Tell the technician about your pets when you call so the visit is planned around them. Call Friends on 050 112 7654 or request a quote on the website, and a technician will arrange a visit in Abu Dhabi.
