Flea Baths

Safe, Soothing Flea Treatments That Bring Your Pet Relief

Fleas are more than a nuisance — they can cause intense itching, skin infections, allergic reactions, and stress for your pet. At Sittin’ Pretty Pet Spa, we offer professional flea baths using gentle, effective, pet-safe formulas to eliminate fleas and soothe irritated skin.


Whether your dog is currently battling fleas or you’re looking to prevent an outbreak before it starts, our trained groomers can help. We serve pet parents across Roseville, Eastpointe, and surrounding communities with compassionate, reliable flea treatment services in a calm and clean salon environment.

What Is a Flea Bath?

A flea bath is a specialized grooming service that uses medicated flea shampoo to kill and remove adult fleas from your pet’s coat. These shampoos are formulated to:



  • Kill fleas on contact
  • Clean and soothe irritated skin
  • Remove flea dirt and allergens
  • Deodorize your pet’s coat
  • Start breaking the flea life cycle


Our team applies the treatment thoroughly and allows it to sit for the appropriate time before rinsing, drying, and brushing out the coat for a full cleanse.

Why Choose a Professional Flea Bath?

Fighting fleas at home can be overwhelming. DIY flea treatments can fail due to:


  • Improper application
  • Harsh chemicals in over-the-counter products
  • Incomplete removal of flea dirt and larvae
  • Stress for the pet during the bath


At Sittin’ Pretty Pet Spa, our flea baths are performed by experienced groomers who know how to properly apply and time the treatment to maximize results without harming your pet’s skin or coat.

Signs Your Pet May Need a Flea Bath

Not sure if your pet has fleas? Here are common signs:



  • Constant scratching or biting at skin
  • Red bumps or scabs, especially around tail and belly
  • Visible fleas or flea dirt (tiny black specks) in the coat
  • Restlessness or skin sensitivity
  • Hair loss in patches


If you’re seeing any of these signs, call us. Early treatment prevents worsening symptoms and keeps other pets in your home safe.

Follow-Up and Flea Prevention

A flea bath is an important first step, but it’s not a long-term solution on its own. After the bath, we recommend:



  • Speaking with your veterinarian about monthly flea preventatives
  • Cleaning your home: bedding, carpets, furniture
  • Vacuuming thoroughly for 7–10 days post-treatment
  • Treating all pets in the household to prevent reinfestation


We’ll walk you through everything at the end of your appointment and provide tips to stay flea-free.

What’s Included in Our Flea Bath Service

Our flea bath process is designed to deliver fast relief and total comfort. Every flea bath includes:


  • Pre-bath coat check to assess flea presence and coat condition
  • Application of vet-grade flea shampoo (safe for dogs)
  • Timed soak to ensure full coverage and effectiveness
  • Thorough rinse and blow dry
  • Post-bath brushing and comb-out
  • Skin assessment to look for irritation or signs of infection
  • Optional recommendations for at-home flea prevention


We always ensure your pet is calm and secure throughout the process. If your pet has sensitive skin or a medical condition, let us know — we’ll select the right product accordingly.

FAQs About Flea Baths

  • Can I book a flea bath without full grooming?

    Yes. Flea baths are available as a standalone service or can be added to your grooming appointment.

  • Are your flea shampoos safe for sensitive skin?

    Absolutely. We use gentle, pH-balanced formulas designed for dogs. Let us know about any allergies or past reactions.

  • Will a flea bath remove all fleas?

    It removes adult fleas on your pet. Complete flea control includes treating the home and using ongoing preventatives.

  • Can my pet get a haircut after a flea bath?

    Yes, but we may schedule the haircut as a separate appointment depending on coat condition and severity of the infestation.

  • How often should my pet get a flea bath?

    Flea baths are usually a one-time service during an infestation. Preventative grooming and flea control products help maintain protection.
