<human>: I want to know what are the best ways to keep my dog safe from fleas.
<bot>: The best way to keep your dog safe from fleas is to regularly groom them, check for flea bites and treat any that you find, use a monthly topical flea preventative, vacuum frequently, and wash bedding and other fabric items in hot water. Additionally, make sure your yard is free of fleas by using insecticides or natural repellents such as garlic, cedar chips, and diatomaceous earth.
