Flea Medicine for Dogs with Tick Control
When using a quality flea medicine for dogs and a tick control product regularly, your dog and home can be flea and tick free. If your dog has fleas, he is not the only one who is irritated with constant flea scratching. While your pet is suffering all night, so is your sleep! Also, the problem can become more serious than just being itchy. Dogs can chew at their skin causing severe skin inflammation and even infection. Likewise, ticks can inflame your pet’s skin and be dangerous to both your dog AND you. Dogs can get Lyme Disease from deer ticks as well as other serious tick-borne diseases. For prevention and treatment, PetScriptsDirect has the right dog flea and tick medicine for you!
Fleas and Ticks
When it comes to fleas, prevention is the key. Do not wait for a flea infestation that is more difficult to control. A quality flea medicine for dogs and the appropriate flea control for puppies is the first line of defense against fleas and ticks. If you wait until you have many fleas in your home, it can be a tedious job removing all of them permanently. You then may have to treat your home and the outdoor environment with an effective insecticide. Such products are not as safe for you or your pet as the preventatives. It requires more time and work, also. For those reasons, ask your veterinarian to recommend the perfect flea and tick prevention product for your pets.
Ticks bites can be serious for both your pet and you, and again, prevention is best. Dogs should have routine “dog tick checks”, especially after long walks and hikes. Dog ticks are found in grassy and wooded areas. Using a preventative tick medication can decrease your dog’s risk of contracting Lyme Disease or other serious tick-borne diseases.
Some tick control products repel ticks while others can kill the tick when it bites your dog. Be sure to discuss the tick product options with your veterinarian to find the best tick preventative for you and your dog. When finding a tick on your dog, don’t panic. Just do the following:
How To Remove A Tick
Grasp the tick by the head or mouth parts right where they enter the skin. Do not grab and pull the tick by the body. Steadily pull outward without twisting. Placing the tick in a cup of alcohol will kill the tick. Be sure to wash the skin with a disinfectant and your hands with soap and water. If you are concerned, you may also have the tick tested for the Lyme Disease bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi. Please contact your veterinarian if you have any questions about removing a tick.
