1 Achieving Total Flea Control: From Managing the Flea Infestation to Guiding the Pet Owner April 24 May 8, 2011 By Alicia Harris, BS, LVT Made possible by an educational grant from Merial, Ltd. Module One: Fleas The Cat Flea: A Threat to Pet Health The cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis) is the most common ectoparasite of dogs and cats in North America. 1 Just one cat flea may lead to a number of medical and dermatological conditions, as well as discomfort, in dogs and cats. 2 1
2 The Cat Flea: There is No Way to Avoid It! Underneath the house or a deck Crawl space Shed Shrubs, Bushes, Trees Flower beds Parks, Nature Trails Carpet Area rugs Grooves or cracks in hardwood floors Baseboards Bedding Furniture Cat Flea Activity Throughout the Year Fleas are not just a spring and summer problem! Why Flea Prevention Matters Because fleas matter to your clients! Pet owners do not want to see fleas on their dogs and cats. Fleas cause discomfort to their pets and can cause pets serious health problems. Every dog and cat is susceptible to flea infestation. Because it matters to your clinic! Your clients look to you to help protect their pets. Your clients will take your advice when you explain what their pets need and why. Flea and tick product sales are an important source of practice revenue, accounting for approximately 11 percent of a clinic s gross revenue. 3 2
3 Preventive Products: A Whole-Clinic Responsibility Flea control is most successful when everyone in the clinic participates: Veterinarians Trained technicians Assistants Receptionists Other office staff Having the entire clinic contribute with well-defined roles can be a win-win-win for the clinic, pet owner, and the pet. Do Pet Owners Do What You Recommend? How can you make sure that the pet owner leaves the veterinary clinic with the flea control that was recommended? Veterinarians are the key health care advisers for their clients. A knowledgeable staff ensures that the veterinarian s recommendation is achievable. There are several pet health dangers when a clinic s staff isn t educated about flea control: o Pet owners who buy preventives may not get the counsel they need to use the products effectively. o Staff may defer to the client as to whether a purchase is made based on factors such as cost. o Pet owners may leave the clinic with an insufficient supply or none at all. Introducing The Parasite Counselor Program The AAHA Parasite Counselor Program is a comprehensive continuing education program for veterinary technicians, assistants and clinic support staff. The first course in the program is the flea module, which will examine the impact of flea infestation on clients like yours and how you can help your clients fight fleas at home. 3
4 Introducing The Parasite Counselor Program Three other modules will delve into other common parasite problems. Participants who successfully complete all of the online courses will be designated as Parasite Counselors, empowering them to take a more active role in ensuring compliance among clients. Flea Module: What Clinic Staff Will Learn Clinic staff that complete the flea module will be armed with the following: Tools to provide flea control information to their clients in a reassuring manner. Tools to effectively resolve client concerns. Understanding that earning a client s trust is achieved with reliability, confidence, and reassurance Understanding that the key to resolving pet owner concerns is not just overwhelming them with an abundance of information. Confidence and reassurance coupled with education can position veterinary professionals as the most reliable and trusted resource when it comes to flea control. Flea Module: What Veterinarians Will Learn While the flea module is great training tool for clinic staff who may not be as knowledgeable about flea prevention, the module is also a great refresher for veterinarians as well. The benefits include: Knowledge to help you protect the pets you know and love. Show pet owners that veterinary professionals should be relied upon as the most trusted resource when it comes to flea control. Position you as the go-to person when clients have concerns with fleas. Provide tools to teach owners to really want flea control. Help your practice increase revenue. Increase confidence of clinic staff. Provide clinic staff with consistent messaging. Help decrease client complaints with the flea control product you sold them. 4

6 Lesson 1: Why Should We Care About Fleas? Because your clients care about fleas! Fleas are one of the most important health issues your clients pets have. Fleas can cause: Numerous dermatological and medical conditions. Discomfort for the pet. Death in young, old or debilitated pets. Stressed out and concerned pet owners. Lesson 2: Science Foundation of Flea Biology & Ecology The Cat Flea (Ctenocephalides felis) is the primary flea species infesting dogs and cats in North America. Found throughout the world wherever there are suitable hosts. Fleas are obligate parasites, which means they require a constant blood source from a suitable host in order to survive. Diseases and other parasites are transmitted when the flea pumps saliva in to the bite wound. The target of flea control products. Adults Pupae FLEA LIFE CYCLE Eggs Larvae 6
7 Lesson 3: How Did My Pet Get Fleas? Common flea carriers. Common outdoor flea development sites. Common indoor flea development sites. How pets get fleas. Signs of flea infestation. Lesson 4: Flea Control: Helping Clients Win The Battle Integrated Flea Control: 1. Relieve the pet s discomfort. Kill the fleas infesting the pet. 2. Eliminate premise infestation. Immature stages (e.g., egg, larvae, pupae). 3. Prevent re-infestation. Lesson 4: Flea Control: Helping Clients Win The Battle Barriers to Success: Pet Owner Misconceptions Treating the yard will solve the problem. Fleas jump from one pet to another. If my pet has fleas it means my home is dirty. A pet treated with flea control will never have fleas on them. 7
8 Lesson 5: Pet Owner Counseling The key to flea control success is that the entire veterinary team understands that flea control is an important medical service. Success factors include: A properly trained staff. Consistent messaging from every staff member that has the opportunity to talk with a pet owner about flea control. The commitment and confidence to proactively discuss flea control with every client. Emphasis on the need for flea control, including explanation to pet owner. Lesson 5: Pet Owner Counseling Information You Will Be Able To Provide To Clients: The importance of flea control. Consequences of not using flea control. Setting client expectations. Product education. Lesson 6: Take Control What Is Your Role? As a veterinary professional you are trusted by your clients to: Care for and help protect their pets health. Explain the health and financial benefit of applying flea control year round. Educate them about important parasitic problems, such as fleas. Don t let the pet owner leave without explaining what their pet needs. Provide solutions. Education is a key success factor! 8
