Health Care

Apr 23

Dogs are prone to infections or infestations caused by various pests or parasites, including ticks and fleas. So, do not get surprised when one day you see your beloved canine itching or scooting more than usual. This case may mean that your dog has fleas or ticks on him.

If you want to do something about this, start now and do not wait for the condition to worsen. Here's what you can do.

Use tick and flea control products. These items come in a variety and are widely available in pet stores. Choose a product that suits the condition of your pup. Because of the several products out in the market, you may find it hard to choose the best one. So, talk to your vet for a recommendation.
Some products are also designed to kill the fleas and ticks thriving on your dog. But, these items work in a limited manner because they do not prevent the spread of these parasites. If you have more than one pup, be sure to treat all of them to avoid the spread of fleas and ticks. Be careful as well in using the products because they may lead to cancer or may be toxic to your family.
Follow all instructions indicated in each product. When you accidentally miss a dose, it may lead to another problem. So, be careful.

Work with your veterinarians Kerrville TX in creating a flea and tick preventive program that will give year-round protection for your pet.
