Flea and Tick Prevention

Are you afraid that fleas and ticks might rage war on your pets after outdoor fun? The odds might swing your way if you follow the below tried and tested parasite prevention techniques:

Cleanliness

Ticks and fleas like hiding in the rugs, bedding, and carpet. As such, vacuum these places regularly to get rid of eggs and larvae. Additionally, ticks like attaching on tall grass, ready to pounce on animals passing by. That said, mow your lawn now and then to keep parasites off your yard. If you have firewood, ensure that you stack it off the ground in a dry location far off from your house.

Products

If fleas and ticks are wreaking havoc on your pet, there are numerous products that can keep these pesky parasites away from your pets. Ranging from flea collars, oral tablets, sprays to spot-on products, you have many treatment options to help you win the battle against parasites.

But before using any product, consult your veterinarian first. Some products could be harmful to your pet, so be careful before starting a treatment plan.
