Complete Guide To Permethrin For Dogs

Fleas and ticks can be one of the most frustrating and irritating aspects of owning a dog. They make your pets miserable and can be very dangerous for both them and the rest of your family. Fleas will invade your home, burrow into your carpets and bedding, and ridding them once they burrow in is often very difficult. There are several products available for dog owners that are effective in killing and repelling these harmful pests.

A common defense against fleas is the insecticide pyrethrin. Pyrethrin was developed after the chrysanthemum plant. When used properly and following the guidelines specified for the product, it can be safe and will keep unwanted insects from harming your dog. The active ingredient is Permethrin which is a synthetic-based insecticide.
