News & Tips General Tip Proper grooming is an important part of pet care. It not only makes a companion animal look better, but contributes to his or her physiological and psychological health. News Experiments conducted by Ohio State University researchers on the dog flea ( Ctenocephalides felis)—the most common type of flea plaguing companion animals, such as dogs and cats, and humans—showed that vacuuming killed fleas in all stages of life. Fleas have multiple life stages: Adults suck the blood of their host and females lay eggs on them. The eggs roll off onto the floor, furniture or pet bedding and hatch two to 14 days later. The insects go through three larval stages, the last of which spins into a cocoon to protect the pupa stage. New adults typically emerge within a week or two. The best way to prevent fleas from spreading is to fervently clean the furniture and the floor of your house on a daily basis; preferably with a tick or flea remover (household friendly recommended)
