For pet owners in Singapore, the constant battle against fleas and ticks is all too familiar. These pests are more than a nuisance and potentially carriers of diseases. Causing allergic reactions and can lead to serious infestations in homes.

When your dog starts scratching more than usual, we easily assume that is it just dry skin or an allergy. But in many cases, those subtle signs point to something far more persistent, an infestation of fleas on dogs.

You wake up one morning with red, itchy spots on your arms or ankles, instantly, your mind races. Was it a flea bite or a bed bug bite? This question has puzzled many Singaporeans because both insects are small, fast-breeding and their bites look remarkably similar.
