Abstract
The need for routine flea treatment is fundamental to parasite control protocols in cats and dogs. The benefits of routine flea treatment need to be considered against the possible environmental impact that may be associated with long-term use. This article considers whether routine flea treatment of all UK cats and dogs is justified, the evidence for environmental contamination with flea products and the role of the veterinary nurse in client education.
