"Hi my name is Sarah and on behalf of expertvillage.com, I am here at Petland in Pembroke Pines, Florida to educate you a little bit today about caring for your ferret. You generally should bathe your ferret about every other week. You do not want to do it any more frequently than that because bathing your ferret too frequently will dry out their coat which will make their skin overproduce the oils and then you can find your ferret has even more of an odor he or she did before you started bathing. It is also important to protect your ferret against fleas which should be done with a ferret safe product. You should consult your ferret veterinarian before choosing any products to treat fleas on your ferret. There are a number of products out there that are safe for cats and dogs that can cause severe reactions in ferrets and can be very dangerous. Therefore once again, before treating your ferret for fleas you should contact your ferret veterinarian. If you would like anymore information about the animal hospital that I work at, you can go to www.extracareanimalhospital.net and if you would like anymore information about Petland in Pembroke Pines, you can go to www.petland.com."
