Does Your Boston Terrier Have Fleas?

Since my Boston Terrier had been concerned with scratching his ears and chewing on his rump, I immediately suspected a flea outbreak. I reached for my fine-toothed comb to extract a sample and be sure.
After dragging it through his fur, I shook the small amount of debris onto a piece of white tissue paper. Small red flakes were present and indicated the presence of fleas living on my Boston Terrier. I had to cure this problem fast as fleas can multiply rapidly and spread to the entire household, making them harder to exterminate.
The local supermarket dog aisle held an array of flea treatments that came in collars, sprays, shampoos and powders.
I opted for a shampoo treatment and then visited my vet for a medicinal dose as well to prevent any future fleas from jumping on.
