All pet owners dread the possibility of being attacked by fleas or ticks. Even the thought of a tick in the area can give someone the “creepy crawlies.” PetCareRx can help you prevent outbreaks of fleas and ticks on your cat, or dog, but you should know what to look for so that if the worst should happen, you can catch it before it becomes a serious problem.
One flea, or one tick, is not the end of the world. However, once those little pests catch on and take hold, you might find yourself wishing it were. PetCareRx has guidelines for what all pet owners should look for during flea and tick season.
- Watch for scratching and licking. Pets who have fleas or ticks are as aggravated by their presence as you would be. Because fleas and ticks prefer dogs, or cats, to humans, they’re more likely to ride along on your pet whenever possible. Anytime you see your dog, or cat, scratching give them a closer look.
- Flea dirt is the main sign of an infestation on your pet. It can be hard to see fleas, especially on a pet. However, fleas leave behind excretions of dry blood that is easy to spot on your dog, or cat’s, skin. PetCareRx carries a full line of flea and tick shampoo to help clean your pet up and start treatment of an infestation.
- Ticks can be tough to spot when small, but need to be found before they have been on your pet for 24 hours. Blood transfer after 24 hours of the time the tick takes hold.
- Have your pet tested regularly for worms. Tapeworms develop as a result of eating fleas when licking, or biting infested areas. It only takes one to give your pets worms.
