Chips are a real problem
All our pets are at risk of catching spring fleas in autumn (May to October). Outside, the environment is obviously frequented by other animals: squirrels, stray cats, small rodents, skimbs etc. Who dropped to the passage of feces and flea eggs on the ground, they turn into larvae which will emerge adult fleas more or less quickly depending on the conditions. The chips can jump up to 20cm vertically and 41 horizontally, the bottom of your legs is within their reach (you will transport them inside), just like unprotected cats and dogs with an anti-flea which can therefore be the innocent victims of a chip jump directly in their fur and all their consequences!

Lower, immunodepressive cats, with leucosis and / or IVF, for example, infested by fleas with symptoms such anemia, abatement, fever, digestive disorders, anorexia, increased respiratory and cardiac frequencies, whitish or yellowish mucosa, could have developed Hemobartonellosis. Another frequent consequences of a flea infestation in the cat and the dog is the transmission of tenia through the ingestion of parasitized chips during their grooming and lie!
