* Prescription flea medication: This is usually the most effective way to eliminate fleas and prevent future infestations. Your vet will consider your poodle's age, weight, and health to determine the safest and most appropriate medication.
* Flea shampoo: While not as effective as medication, a flea shampoo can help to kill adult fleas on contact.
* Flea comb: Regularly combing your poodle's fur with a fine-toothed flea comb can help remove fleas and their eggs.
* Environmental treatment: Flea infestations often require addressing the environment too. This can include treating your home with a flea spray or powder.
Important:
* Never use human flea treatments on your dog as these can be dangerous and potentially fatal.
* If your poodle shows signs of allergy or irritation, consult your vet immediately.
* Follow all instructions provided by your vet for medication or other treatments.
By consulting your veterinarian, you can ensure your toy poodle receives the best possible care and quickly eliminate the fleas.
