The fleas started small.
A scratch here. A scratch there.
I thought it was normal. Dogs scratch, right?
But within two weeks, Luna couldn't stop.
She'd wake me up at 3 AM, scratching until she bled. Her beautiful golden coat was falling out in clumps. Red, raw patches covered her belly and legs.
My vet visits became weekly. Then twice a week.
I spent over $900 on flea shampoos, collars, sprays, and prescription treatments.
Nothing worked.
The fleas kept coming back. Luna kept suffering.
My kids stopped wanting to play with her. They were scared of the bugs jumping onto them.
I felt like the worst dog mom in the world.
