I Am Devoted Flea Terminator.

Greeting peeps! How was your Mother's Day celebration? I would love to know it if you are kind enough to share with me. *kidding* It's undeniable a merry merry day besides birthday for mummies, agree?

As the title written above, I am not going to post my Mother's Day Celebration entry, but the guide to free your dogs from flea. Everybody hates flea, isn't it?

But before that, I would like to share some of my experience how to keep your dogs flea-free. I am not a professional, not a vet but I'm just a dog lover like most of you out there. Alright so don't get me wrong.

So tell me what is FLEA? A blood-sucker and indeed a parasite! Suck your dog's blood and make babies like nobody's business wtf. To kill them ain't an easy job but definitely not a hard job as well. But to make your days easier, here are some tips you can avoid this flea-thing happens.

#1 : Clean the dog cage on daily basis. I do not have dog cages at home, so what I do is wash the floor in the morning and before sleep. On weekends, I will clean the floor using Dettol, preferable lavender flavor. By doing this, you can get rid from bacteria and baby insects. Examples larva, maggots and etc.

#2 : Must clean their paws, tail and head after walking them outside. Wash all the baby insects; Examples larva, maggots and etc out from your dog's body. If you find it too much hassle (using water wtf), alternatively, you can use the spray as shown below.

Ignore the disposable bowl. Look at the spray indeed.

#3 : Don't leave the dog food unattended. Make sure your dogs finish it and make sure clean their bowls.

These are the least you can do for your furkids besides vaccination and heart-guard medication, all of these are important yet easy steps to keep your dogs free from fleas and maggots.

So what should we do if our dogs have flea all over the body? Dump them on the street? Bring them to the clinic? You can't dump them but you got no money to bring them for treatment? Let me show you the easy way out.

#STEP ONE : A bowl of oil. Please ignore the brownish smudge, I used a disposable ais kacang bowl *grin*


# STEP TWO : My mom is going to kill me or I would blamed for wasting the cooking oil, so I used dish-washing liquid!


# STEP THREE : (Enough of nonsense) So next what you need it the two items as below. Scissors to cut the coat and the picker (?) to pick fleas. Bought it from the 100YEN shop, this two items only costs me RM9.80.



STEP FOUR : Sorry no photos shown as three of us (Boyfriend,Edward and me) were busy picking up fleas from Shadow, the Golden Retriever at home. All you need to do is, cut the fur, look for fleas, it's a spider-look-alike creature and it's in red color. Look out for those baby fleas too. Very tiny creature and you can just missed it.

BEWARE : Stomach fulls of sucked-blood and baby fleas. Just pick it up gently and drown them by stuck them in the bowl of oil. Now you know why I use dish-washing, it is because fleas definitely can't live without O2 inside the oil.

RESULT : My spine nearly KO, thighs numbed, and pants got dirty. Besides that, Shadow has new coat, I cut a mohawk style. Umm, and I am sinful for killing almost 1000++ fleas that evening. (the flea and the babies inside its stomach?)


RIP, fleas.
