Here's why:
* Fleas are attracted to the scent of their host, not a lack of vitamins: Fleas are primarily attracted to the scent of a dog's skin and hair.
* Vitamin B complex doesn't change the scent of a dog's skin: While B vitamins are important for overall health, they don't alter a dog's scent profile to repel fleas.
* There are proven flea prevention methods: Effective flea prevention strategies include:
* Flea medication: Prescription and over-the-counter flea medications (topical, oral, or collars) are the most effective way to prevent flea infestations.
* Regular grooming: Frequent brushing and bathing help remove fleas and their eggs.
* Environmental control: Treating your home and yard with flea-killing products can prevent infestations.
Instead of relying on unproven methods, talk to your veterinarian about the best flea prevention options for your dog. They can recommend a personalized plan based on your dog's age, breed, and lifestyle.
