How to Protect Your Dog from Ticks: 5 Tips – for the Caring Owner to Note
The best protection against ticks for pets is special products that can be found in any veterinary pharmacy or pet store.
To choose a good drug, rely on reviews from other buyers or advice from a pharmacist.
In addition, it is worth listening to the following recommendations:
1. Combine products: for example, spray and collar, or drops and collar.
2. Make sure that the active substance in the products you use is different.
3. Pay attention to the onset of action of the drug. Thus, the spray "enters the battle" immediately, while the collar and drops require 1-2 days to begin to act.
4. The dog should not be bathed for 3 days before and after using the product. This is necessary so that the active substance has time to be absorbed into the sebaceous glands and come back out onto the skin along with the secretion.
5. It is not recommended to use the same pipette for different animals, as some products intended for dogs may be toxic to cats. To avoid such a mistake, it is necessary to carefully read the information on the packaging.
