How To Protect Pets From Fleas And Ticks:
After any outside play or walks inspect your pet for any pests. Brushing their coat will help remove insects.
Pets with longer hair should be groomed regularly especially in the spring and summer months when tick and fleas are more active. For many reasons regular grooming is positive.
Wash your pets bedding on a regular basis. This goes for toys, and food bowls.
Your home is their home, keep it clutter free! Vacuum regularly, especially in areas where your pet spends a lot of their time.
Your outdoor area should be well maintained as well. Fleas and ticks hide in tall grasses, mowing your lawn will reduce the amount of pests.
If you find a tick on your pet, Immediately remove it! Extract the head and mouthparts completely.
If fleas how found their way onto your pet, give them a bath and call your veterinarian for further instructions.
