As the warm weather continues, we want to remind you about the critical importance of flea and tick prevention for your furry friends. Here at Whites Creek Veterinary Clinic, we've seen a significant increase in tick-borne diseases in both dogs and cats this year. 😿🐶
Ticks and fleas are more than just a nuisance; they can carry and transmit serious illnesses such as Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis, and Anaplasmosis, which can have severe health consequences for your pets. Regular preventive care is essential to keep them safe and healthy.
👉 Here are a few tips to protect your pets:
-Use Vet-Approved Preventatives: Ensure your pet is on a regular flea and tick prevention regimen. Consult with us to find the best product for your pet.
-Regular Checks: After outdoor activities, always check your pets for ticks and fleas. Pay special attention to hidden areas like under the collar, between the toes, and around the ears.
-Keep Your Yard Tidy: Maintain your yard by keeping grass short and removing leaf litter where ticks thrive.
-Stay Informed: Be aware of the symptoms of tick-borne diseases, which can include fever, lethargy, joint pain, and loss of appetite. If you notice any of these signs, contact us immediately.
Your pet's health and well-being are our top priority. Schedule a check-up or consult with us about the best flea and tick prevention for your furry family member. Together, we can ensure a safe and enjoyable summer for everyone!
Stay safe and tick-free! 🐾❤️
