A fine-tooth flea comb can help remove loose debris and make it easier to inspect the coat closely. It is a grooming and checking tool, not a complete flea-treatment plan.
Start with a calm pet
Work in a well-lit area and comb small sections gently in the direction of hair growth.
Check common areas
Pay extra attention around the neck, base of the tail and other areas where debris may collect.
Clean the comb as you work
Remove trapped hair and debris frequently so the teeth stay effective.
When to contact a veterinarian
If you suspect an active flea problem, skin irritation or persistent itching, ask a veterinarian about appropriate prevention or treatment.
