If you suspect your puppy is harboring unwanted guests, wash her in a bathtub and rub your hands up and down her coat to look
for flea «dirt,» dark dots that are actually
flea excrement.
Our best friends should not be relegated to lives of neglect, starvation, untreated illness and injury, mutilated feet from constant living on wire in quarters too small
for movement, living in the stench of ammonia and eating their own
excrement, drinking filthy water, encrusted with
fleas and mange, making futile attempts to protect their dying infants from extreme weather (both hot and cold) and having those who live torn from them unweaned, sometimes being abandoned to die slowly in wire cages — all in order to provide a «cash crop»
for irresponsible and unfeeling humans.
