So, how can we identify, prevent and treat any tick and flea cases to keep our furry friends happy and healthy!

Preventing Flea & Tick Infestations

No one wants their poor pet to face things such as heavy loss of blood, skin problems, or diseases like Lyme disease that fleas and ticks can carry. That's why prevention is key!

If you live in an area where these pests are common, consider talking with your vet about a flea and tick prevention plan. And there are some basic things you can do at home as well:

  • Regularly use a flea comb on your pets and give them a weekly bath.

  • -Keep your yard tidy by removing grass clippings and dead leaves where fleas might hide.

  • Mow your lawn regularly and keep those pesky weeds at bay to deter ticks.


Identifying Symptoms of Fleas & Ticks:

Recognizing flea and tick infestations can help you catch any problems early and keep your pet safe. Look out for:

  • Small, dark droppings or tiny white eggs in their fur.

  • Excessive scratching, licking, or chewing.

  • Hair loss or pale gums.

Ticks can be sneakier: They start out small and grow bigger after they suck your pet’s blood. Pay attention to regions like the neck, ears, or armpits.

Elimination of Fleas & Ticks

Your vet can confirm whether or not your pet may have fleas and may recommend treatments like medicated shampoos. It’s also a good idea to apply a treatment to all your pets and clean your home thoroughly.

Found a tick? Gently pull it out with tweezers, avoiding squeezing it, and place it in a jar for your vet to examine. Monitor the bite site for any signs of irritation.

And as always, if you have questions regarding fleas or ticks, your vet is always a quick phone call away.
