For adult dogs, the infective eggs most commonly lurk in soil, having been pooed out by other animals who are carrying worms (lovely!). As your dog is snuffling and rummaging – as dogs do – they can unknowingly end up eating some of these infective eggs, which then develop into adult worms inside your dog.

Fleas are insects, but rather than scuttling around in nature like many of their six-legged relatives, these ones opt for the comfort of our pets’ furry coats to spend their lives. Our pets provide them with everything they need; warmth, shelter and all the food they could ask for, as fleas are blood-feeders, and will bite our four-legged friends many times a day to get their fill.

A female flea can lay an impressive 2000 eggs during her time on your pet*, and since the gruesome transformation of egg to fully-fledged flea can happen in just a few weeks, it’s not hard to see how a few pesky hitchhikers can quickly turn into a full-on infestation in your home!

The key thing to remember is not to just yank it out though, as this risks leaving the mouthparts still embedded in your poor pet! Trying to burn the tick off or suffocating it with petroleum jelly are also to be avoided. We recommend using a tick hook and following a few simple steps:
1. Gently restrain your pet
2. Part the fur
3. Attach the tick hook around the head of the tick (the bit nearest your pet’s skin)
4. Gently twist and pull and the tick should pop out
5. Dispose of the tick
6. Check your pet’s skin for any bits that have been left behind
7. Monitor your pet

If your pet spends time in areas with vegetation that other animals can access, they could be at risk of picking up a tick! If you live in a tick ‘hotspot’ area, such as the South West of England, East Anglia and Scotland then you’ve probably already had several tick encounters…

Once a tick has sought out your dog as their next meal, they will burrow their mouthparts into your dog’s skin and stay firmly attached feeding for several days - sometimes for even over a week! They grow in size during this time, and their weight can increase by 120 times.

Ticks are arachnids (close relatives of the spider, in case you need an extra reason to dislike them), and these eight-legged creatures bite us, and our pets, to feed on our blood. When we say they bite, we’re not talking about a quick nip.

Ticks tend to be active from early spring to autumn (March to October), so it is important to regularly check your pet with a quick ‘tick check’ during this time. Especially in summer when pets tend to be outside more!

Some ticks are a bit fussier about where their meal comes from, but the most common tick of dogs in the UK, Ixodes ricinus, will feed on nearly anything. And yes, this unfortunately includes people! So, while a tick is very unlikely to move from your dog onto you to feed, you are still at risk of bites from these terrible critters.

Dogs with Lyme Disease may not show any signs, but they can include swollen lymph nodes, fever, and painful joints, and long-term problems can occur if it’s not treated early. If you are concerned about your dog’s health, you should speak to your vet.

There are other diseases that ticks can transmit to our pets too. Babesiosis is a potentially fatal disease in dogs, transmitted by the Dermacentor reticulatus tick. Although not common, cases have been reported in the UK.

Ticks tend to be active from early spring to autumn (March to October), so it is important to regularly check your pet with a quick ‘tick check’ during this time.

Run your hands over your pet’s coat and feel for any new or unusual lumps or bumps. Ticks prefer less hairy areas such as the armpits, groin, face and ears, but they can attach anywhere – so be thorough. The most common tick of UK dogs, Ixodes ricinus, grows to around 1cm after feeding and turns a greyish-brown colour as it fills with blood.

Ticks can easily be mistaken for other types of skin lumps, but the tiny waving legs at the base of the bump usually give them away!
