With the peak of flea and tick season upon us, conscientious pet owners are regularly treating their pets.  One of the most popular application methods, while produced by various manufacturers, is applied in liquid form along the back and neck area of the pet.   While only a small amount is used, it combines with oil on the skins surface to move through the haircoat.  These products are quite popular due to their effectiveness.  But the little known fact by the vast majority of pet owners, in particular those that own leather furniture or have leather auto interiors, is that these products will remove the protective leather top coat and cause color loss.  Pet owners with leather should also beware of other products with flea and tick medications including shampoos, sprays and dips.  Many pet owners happily allow their pets to lounge on their furniture, and those that don’t may have pets that are sneaking and doing it when they’re not home.  Why we even saw a sofa this week that had color loss to one arm only.  Yep, right where the family lab merely rested his recently medicated neck just to get his head petted!  The best soloution to eliminate this possibility would be to consider oral medications.  Otherwise, try and keep a blanket covering the area where your pet lounges.  And, if this tidbit of information has given you and ‘aha’ moment, just remember Fibrenew Upstate  is available to help with your pet pains . . . I mean stains!
