Our cats and dogs are part of our families and we all want them to be healthy and happy. Unfortunately, along with much of Portland’s wildlife, they are susceptible to becoming a host to fleas. In addition, the mild climate in western Oregon allows fleas to remain active virtually year round. Consequently, you may have seen these tiny insects on your pets, bouncing around your home or even on yourself. Our Portland natural flea service is the perfect way to get a handle on your flea problem while avoiding harsh chemicals.
