## 解决方案

1. ```
   Use veterinarian-prescribed topical flea treatments such as fipronil (Frontline) or selamectin (Revolution). Example: 'Apply one tube of Frontline Plus between the shoulder blades of a cat weighing over 5 lbs, monthly.'
   ```
2. ```
   Use oral flea medications like spinosad (Comfortis) or fluralaner (Bravecto) for dogs. Example: 'Give a 20-40 lb dog one Comfortis tablet with food once a month.'
   ```
3. ```
   Vacuum thoroughly and wash pet bedding in hot water weekly; use a flea comb daily. Example: 'Comb through the pet's fur with a fine-tooth flea comb, dipping the comb in soapy water after each stroke to kill fleas.'
   ```
