Pet Meds: Have YOU Ever Had Fleas?
Have you ever had fleas?
Fleas are nasty things. You can try and dress it up a little if you like and make the sound scientific (Ctenocephalides canis). But at the end of the day they're just a bug – and a pretty annoying one, at that.
I watched a dog once in Krakow (wonderful city in Poland) that I knew had fleas. It's biggest problem in life was simple sleep deprivation. It woudl sleep for a few moments, just up and scratch and chew itself for a minute or two, spend a couple of moments trying to find a comfortable position again, and then start the cycle all over.
They tell me that when people get fleas the experience is just as insufferable. I've never had fleas myself. But I spent some time with a volunteer service organization in a couple of Third Countries. Countries with bugs…
Fortunately for my pet, I love my dog enough to use a service like Pet Meds to be sure fleas don't hang around us very long. And so we can travel to developing countries, Eastern Europe, or anyway in the world without beeing afraid fleas or other blood-sucking insects could annoy us.
