Signs of flea allergy dermatitis in dogs include hair loss, thick skin, redness, and hot spots on the rear end, tail, thighs, and abdomen. Cats can be harder to diagnose. Signs typically include hair loss due to frequent and excessive licking (especially on the back) and tiny red crusts on the back, though these crusts are not always present. If you think your pet is having an allergic reaction to a flea bite, talk to your vet about how to safely prevent fleas. Your vet may also prescribe antibiotics for skin infections and/or medicated shampoos to treat inflammation.

Use a mild soap to wash any areas where the product was applied. Thoroughly rinse the area with copious amounts of water, ensuring that all of the soap (and the preventative product) have been rinsed off. Gently dry your pet with a clean, dry towel. Be extra cautious when toweling off the area where the product was applied, as it may have caused skin sensitivity in your pet.
In some severe cases, the dog may need anti-inflammatory medications that only a veterinarian can prescribe.
Only use one application per pet. Make sure it’s for the right animal, as cats and dogs should receive different products. Use the right size or dose for each application. For example, don’t split a large dog application between two small dogs or use two small dog applications for one large dog. Closely monitor your pet after you’ve administered any flea and tick preventative to ensure that it does not experience any adverse side effects. Always talk to your vet before using a preventative product on animals that are old, weak, sick, nursing, or on medication. Ask your vet about how to prevent fleas and ticks on pets that have had allergic reactions in the past.
If you must give your pet multiple medicinal products, space out their use by at least 7 days. If going to the vet, make sure your pet does not receive a vaccination on the same day as any preventative products. An abnormal body temperature can also lead to adverse reactions to preventative products. Never administer flea and tick preventatives immediately after your pet has been bathed, sedated, or anesthetized. [4] X Research source
Always talk to your vet before administering any flea and tick preventative if your pet has experienced problems in the past. Give oral products with food. This can help reduce the risk of digestive problems. Some experts recommend administering an over-the-counter antacid like Pepcid shortly before administering an oral preventative product.
