Basic grooming, such as brushing and combing your pet's coat, can also help you catch any fleas or ticks and give you an opportunity to assess your pet's overall health. If you do find any, remove the tick with tweezers and dispose of it right away.

Fleas and ticks are a year-round threat, and while completely eradicating them may not be possible, you can minimize their impact on your pet.
The key to success is a multi-pronged approach that includes veterinary-approved preventives, environmental management, and year-round pet health vigilance.
Keep your pet on year-round flea and tick prevention. These preventatives work by either repelling fleas and ticks or killing them when they bite your pet.
It's important to note that fleas and ticks don't have an off-season, so administering these preventatives year-round is crucial.
