Warmer weather means more time outside, which means more chances for unwanted hitchhikers to tag along on your furry friend! Fleas, ticks, and stickers can be annoying, but they can also be dangerous.
Fleas and ticks can cause skin irritation, itchiness, disease, and infection. Stickers, foxtails, and burrs can become embedded in your pet’s skin. This can lead to discomfort, pain, and even costly vet care.
What are some ways to protect your pet from fleas, ticks, and stickers?
-Ask your vet about flea and tick medications.
– Run your hands through their coat, or use a brush/comb to check for any bumps or bugs.
– Check between their toes, the bottoms of their paws, belly, armpits, and anywhere else fleas or ticks could easily hide.
– Keep your pets out of tall grass and wooded areas.
– Consider using pet-safe w**d spray and flea/tick spray on your lawn.
Keep your pets happy and healthy this summer by making sure they’re free of fleas, ticks, and stickers! ☀️🐶
