As warmer days arrive, it is important to keep your pet protected from fleas and ticks. Fleas and ticks can pose serious risks to your pet’s health. Preventing infestations is far easier than treating them. Early action can save your pet from discomfort and further health concerns. Let’s keep your furry friend protected so they can enjoy a healthy, itch-free season.
The Dangers of Fleas and Ticks
Fleas and ticks can lead to serious health concerns if left untreated. Ticks can transmit Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and other serious infections. Fleas can cause tapeworms, flea allergy dermatitis, and bacterial infections like Bartonella. Fleas reproduce rapidly, leading to potential home infestations.
How Fleas and Ticks Are Transmitted
Fleas and ticks don’t need direct contact to find their way onto your furry friend. They can be contracted in grassy or wooded areas, from other pets, or even brought into your home on clothing, shoes, or other animals. Indoor pets must also be protected, as fleas can survive in carpets and furniture for months. We recommend checking your pets and yourself regularly to assist in prevention.
Signs Your Pet May Have Fleas or Ticks
- Excessive Itching and Scratching
- Red, Irritated Skin
- Hair Loss
- Visible Ticks or Flea Dirt in Fur
