Pet
parents think that pests only irritate their pets during warmer months
especially during summertime only. Looking on the clearer side, the threat of
parasites and specially fleas and ticks is not constrained to hot months only.
Tick bites and diseases passed through the transfer of infectious organisms as
tick bites taking in blood from pets is a greater danger highest during summer
while still chances lay for colder months also.
With
total awareness about life-threatening bacterial, viral and parasitic diseases
spread by ticks, you should take logical steps for environmental control and
seek advice from veterinarians for the best flea and tick preventive treatments
most appropriate for your furry pal.
Follow
these steps to keep your furry pal free from ticks:
ü Keeping your pooch
away from ticks require a strategic planning involving an environmental control
and prevention.
ü Do not allow your
doggy to roam freely in the yard or go off lead during walks or hiking or a day
out in wooded areas. Avoiding your dog or cat from entering tick-prone zones,
will immensely reduce exposure to ticks and lowers the chances of tick
diseases.
ü For pets that are
easily targeted by ticks (or fleas), veterinary surgeons recommend tick topical
or oral medications or preventives that are highly effective.
ü Tick collars are
also useful when pets are quite fussy about spot-on or oral treatments. These
tick collars repel or kill ectoparasites.
ü Pet owners need to
pick the right product based on the size, age, breed, any health condition, because
what seems appropriate to one dog/cat may not perfectly works for the other
animal. For example, dog product should not be used on cat or a topical
treatment should never be (even by mistake) ingested.
ü Pet owner should
strictly follow the manufacturer’s guidelines in conjunction with a veterinarian’s
advice.
As
its prime summer time, use all the measures to keep your pet free from ticks
and other pesky parasites like fleas.
