Flea Treatment Experts

Professional flea treatment is a thorough, pet-safe process that goes well beyond what an over-the-counter shampoo can accomplish. At The Platinum Pooch, our flea treatment packages are designed to eliminate fleas at every stage, soothe the irritated skin they leave behind, and send your dog home clean, comfortable, and flea-free.
Every flea treatment at The Platinum Pooch is performed by Donna M. Walko, a Certified Veterinary Technician with over 50 years of experience. Donna understands the biology of flea infestations, the safest and most effective products to use, and how to treat your dog's skin in the aftermath of an infestation. This is not a quick dip and a towel dry. It is a complete, clinically informed treatment from someone who genuinely knows what they are doing.



Fleas are small and fast, which makes them easy to miss until the infestation is already established. Common signs that your dog may have fleas include excessive scratching, biting, or licking at the skin, restlessness and agitation, hair loss or thinning in certain areas, red or irritated skin, small dark specks in the coat known as flea dirt, and visible flea movement through the fur.
If you have noticed any of these signs, it is worth acting quickly. Fleas reproduce rapidly and an infestation that starts on your dog can spread to your home within days. The sooner your dog is treated, the easier the situation is to get under control. Give us a call and we will get you scheduled as soon as possible.

Because Donna is a Certified Veterinary Technician, our flea treatments go beyond simply washing your dog with a flea shampoo. Donna assesses the condition of your dog's skin before and after treatment, selects products appropriate for your dog's size, breed, age, and skin sensitivity, and pays close attention to the areas fleas most commonly hide, including the neck, belly, base of the tail, and inner legs.
We also take the time to discuss next steps with you before you leave. Treating your dog is only part of the solution. Fleas live in your home environment too, and we will make sure you leave with a clear understanding of what to do at home to prevent reinfestation and keep your dog protected going forward.
