Any pet parent knows that flea control for pets is an important part of responsible care. But recently, there’s been growing discussion about how some traditional flea treatments may impact the wider environment.
A recent report highlighted concerns about chemicals used in certain topical flea treatments entering waterways. Researchers have detected insecticides in rivers across the UK, which can potentially harm aquatic wildlife when they wash off pets or enter household wastewater.
This doesn’t mean pet owners should stop protecting their pets from pests, but it does mean many people are starting to explore preventative approaches that don’t rely on strong topical chemicals applied to the skin.
Flea control for pets: Prevention, not pesticides!
For us, prevention has always been at the heart of great pet care.
Our Flea Guard range takes a different approach to flea protection. Rather than using insecticides that sit on your pet’s coat, these products work from the inside out, helping to make your pet naturally less attractive to fleas, ticks and mosquitoes.
- VETIQ Flea Guard Tablets contain a blend of B vitamins, yeast, zinc and garlic; ingredients that help naturally deter pests while supporting healthy skin and a glossy coat.
- VETIQ Flea Guard Granules provide a 100% natural deterrent that can simply be sprinkled into your pet’s food. Alongside helping repel unwanted visitors, they can also help reduce those familiar “doggy smells” while supporting coat and skin health.

Every pet parent wants the same thing: a happy, healthy pet and peace of mind that they’re doing the right thing.
By focusing on natural preventative care, VETIQ Flea Guard offers a gentle way to help keep pests away without applying chemicals directly to your pet’s skin.
After all, sometimes the best approach is the simplest: supporting your pet’s health while helping keep the wider world around them a little happier too!
