When people think of Texas rain isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. Most people think of hot and dry, but that isn’t always the case. During late spring and early fall, the rain can flat POUR down. Like cats and dogs. In fact, it can rain so much that there is often floods that close roads, businesses, and schools. It’s typically good for us as a whole because the aquifer is usually down, but it causes other annoying, itchy problems – FLEAS!

Heavy rains and humid Texas temperatures are the perfect recipe for fleas (and ticks). While some people might think a lot of rain will wash fleas away and drown them this isn’t the case. Fleas can THRIVE in this kind of environment. I was unlucky enough to experience this first-hand last year.

Fleas are tiny, annoying creatures that are pretty hard to see, especially if you are wearing a fur coat like a dog. They get into bedding, carpet, and anywhere they can squeeze their tiny selves into.

We first noticed we had a problem when these little guys started jumping up on our legs and biting us INDOORS. We knew right away that the dogs were the culprits who brought these fun creatures inside. Sure, enough we checked them and they had fleas.

When you have fleas you want to get rid them and get rid of them FAST. They are quick, annoying, and multiply worse than rabbits. One of the best ways to protect your family and dog from fleas is to be proactive. You want to nip these guys in the butt before it becomes an itchy, painful nightmare.

Start by making sure your dogs are wearing a water-resistant flea collar like Adams™ Flea and Tick Collar for Dogs & Puppies. This is a super easy and affordable solution that all dog owners should take advantage of. Just this simple step alone can prevent you from suffering from a flea outbreak like I had.

Adams Flea and Tick Collar for Dogs & Puppies protects your pooch from fleas, ticks, AND even mosquitoes, saving you from dealing with those annoying creatures in the first place. Not many collars do that! Plus, you don’t have to remember to apply monthly applications – these amazing collars give your dog 6 full months of protection! Wait, no, 12 months – it’s a two pack!!

That means 6 months of not having to go to a vet for flea treatments or because your dog got fleas and is allergic. Yes, we found out the hard way! One of our dogs is apparently allergic to fleas. He looked absolutely dreadful, losing hair from biting and had terrible rashes EVERYWHERE. At one point the vet even had to put a cone on him to prevent him from biting himself. It was that bad!

Thankfully, the new Adams Flea and Tick Collar for Dogs & Puppies can be found at your local WalMart or on WalMart.com. Somewhere most of us are anyway. Plus $19.99 – 24.99 for 2 collar pack is WAY cheaper than a vet visit. If you visit http://bricks.coupons.com/Bstart.asp?o=131587&c=HU&p=7v1oBWTX for more detail and a money-saving coupon (available for a limited time). Cha-ching! Learn from my mistakes and save a trip and the cost of a vet visit today!

In celebration of the new collar, Adams PetCare is conducting a contest where pet owners can win $1,000 in prizes by submitting their dog’s selfie. Top honors will go to entries that capture the pride a dog feels when pest-free. No purchase necessary. See website for details.

    I do rescue & always have a houseful of cats & dogs. My animals(not rescue or fosters)get a topical. I like Revolution because it also protects from heartworm. I would LOVE to see a pet food developed that repels fleas & ticks naturally. Until then I use flea combs like crazy & topical if needed. Btw, I have an indoor cat that I comb 2-3 times a week with the flea comb & almost always get a couple fleas + flea dirt.

    I myself try to you all natural remedies for fleas as most other products cause issues with my allergies at time. They are cheaper and safer to the environment. Lots of them work just as good as store bought ones.

      It’s about impossible to keep my dogs out of the water or mostly dry in the summer. So, the waterproof aspect is at the top of my favorites list, for sure.

    Yes, this is a huge issue in the midwest as well as ticks. The ticks are actually worse than the fleas. We used to have a dog and the ticks would jump from the dog to my kiddos!

    Although I dont have a dog (I am a kitty mommy), I can imagine how much of a challenge it would be to keep your dog safe from icky fleas while they’re outdoors. Great suggestions, especially the collar that lasts for 6 months! wow!

      Lasting for 6 months is the best part. It’s so hard to remember stuff on a monthly basis. Even if they’re not outside often, it can still be a pain because then they get in the house!
