How to Kill Insects in Dog Hair

1. Brush your dog thoroughly. This will help to remove any loose insects or eggs that may be in your dog's fur. Be sure to brush your dog outdoors so that the insects don't fall back into your home.

2. Use a flea and tick shampoo. These shampoos contain ingredients that will kill insects on contact. Follow the directions on the shampoo bottle carefully.

3. Apply a topical flea and tick treatment. These treatments are applied to your dog's skin and will kill insects for several weeks. Be sure to choose a treatment that is appropriate for your dog's age, weight, and health condition.

4. Treat your dog's environment. This means vacuuming your carpets, floors, and furniture, as well as washing your dog's bedding in hot water. You can also use a fogger to kill insects in your home.

5. Keep your dog away from areas where insects are likely to be. This includes wooded areas, tall grass, and standing water.

6. Talk to your veterinarian if you have any concerns about insects on your dog. They can help you to develop a treatment plan that is right for your pet.
