Why should you use prevention against flea and ticks for your dogs?
Gear for Pets
believes in happy and healthy pets.
Fleas can nestle down into your dog’s fur and cause them
to itch and scratch. Ticks attach to puppies skin and suck their blood which
can cause infections and diseases. Both fleas and ticks can result in health
problems for your pet.
Types of Flea and Tick Prevention:
Perform “Tick
Checks” by brushing your dog daily and then combing through
their hair with your fingers to feel for any ticks.
Topical
Ointments or Serums can be squeezed between the dog’s shoulder
blades once a month to protect against fleas and ticks.
Collars are
a newer trend to flea and tick prevention. They last for several months and
make taking care of your pet easy!
Chewable
Tablets can also be used for fleas in combination with heartworm
prevention. You would still need something else to protect your dog against
ticks though.
Note: Other prevention treatments such as powders may be
available but may not work as well as the ones listed above.
Bathing your dog is also important to its health and for
flea and tick prevention. Be careful to not bathe them to much or you may
damage the oils in their skin.
