Signs Your Dog Has Fleas or Ticks
- Is your dog using her paws or chewing with her mouth to scratch an itch?
- Is your dog losing hair around his or her tail or neck?
- Are there red bumps on your dog’s skin?
- Have you found black specks around your dog’s bedding or skin?
- Has your dog lost his or her energy?
- Has your dog developed a fever?
- Has your dog lost his or her appetite?
Can pets get fleas or ticks in the winter?
Fleas can survive indoors throughout the year. Ticks have a lower tolerance to cold, but can still be a problem during warmer winter days or in wooded areas. Year-round flea and tick prevention is highly recommended.
What’s the difference between flea and tick prevention products?
There are products that only target fleas and others that prevent both fleas and ticks. The prevention methods come in different forms as well. You can choose from oral, topical, or collar delivery methods. Follow your veterinarian’s advice for the right product based on your pet’s lifestyle, exposure risk, and health history.
How do fleas and ticks affect my pet’s health?
Besides producing skin irritations, fleas cause allergic reactions and even anemia in severe infestations. Ticks can transmit serious diseases like Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. All of these diseases can cause long-term health problems if not treated.
Do I need to treat my home if my pet has fleas?
Unfortunately, fleas lay eggs in carpets, furniture, and in your pet’s bedding. Treating your pet alone will not take care of the problem. Re-infestation can happen if the home environment isn’t treated. Vacuum frequently and get your vet’s recommendations for pet-safe home treatments.
Can indoor-only pets get fleas and ticks?
Sadly, yes, fleas and ticks can invade your home and bother your indoor-only pets. Fleas and ticks can hitch a ride indoors on shoes, clothing, or other pets.
What should I do if my flea or tick product doesn’t seem to work?
Ensure the correct dosage and application methods were used. Speak with your veterinarian about trying a new product or a combination approach for full protection.
