Today with David McCullagh
Ask the Vet โ€“ Itchy dogs

So that's your flea environment.

Today with David McCullagh
Ask the Vet โ€“ Itchy dogs

So if your fleas aren't controlled, yeah.

Today with David McCullagh
Ask the Vet โ€“ Itchy dogs

They don't need the humans for their life cycle, so they need the dogs to keep living, but they will bite us and cause issues.

Today with David McCullagh
Ask the Vet โ€“ Itchy dogs

So itchy pets can equal itchy people.

Today with David McCullagh
Ask the Vet โ€“ Itchy dogs

Yeah, absolutely.

Today with David McCullagh
Ask the Vet โ€“ Itchy dogs

So we look at prevention being better than cure.

Today with David McCullagh
Ask the Vet โ€“ Itchy dogs

Which is the case for lots of our things.

Today with David McCullagh
Ask the Vet โ€“ Itchy dogs

But historically we had kind of spot on products and some collars.

Today with David McCullagh
Ask the Vet โ€“ Itchy dogs

They're still available over the counter.

Today with David McCullagh
Ask the Vet โ€“ Itchy dogs

But what you can get from your pet vet is much more varied now.

Today with David McCullagh
Ask the Vet โ€“ Itchy dogs

So there still are spot ons, but they work in different ways.

Today with David McCullagh
Ask the Vet โ€“ Itchy dogs

There's tablets.

Today with David McCullagh
Ask the Vet โ€“ Itchy dogs

There are still collars, again, working different ways.

Today with David McCullagh
Ask the Vet โ€“ Itchy dogs

And there's now even a year long injection system.

Today with David McCullagh
Ask the Vet โ€“ Itchy dogs

So one of the issues we have with things like the tablets is you have to remember to give it every three months.

Today with David McCullagh
Ask the Vet โ€“ Itchy dogs

So you're putting a reminder in your phone or you're hoping that someone tells you that it needs to be done.

Today with David McCullagh
Ask the Vet โ€“ Itchy dogs

If you're just having to do something once a year, you can kind of tie it in with your annual vaccination.

Today with David McCullagh
Ask the Vet โ€“ Itchy dogs

Potentially just makes life a bit easier there.

Today with David McCullagh
Ask the Vet โ€“ Itchy dogs

So the spot on products, particularly the older products, they were designed to just sit on the skin and they were derived from pesticides.
