How to Protect Your Pet from Ticks: Helpful Tips
Starting in March, when the temperature gets a little higher, ticks start to be active. So it is important to remember this when walking outside with your pet.
If this rule is ignored, the animal may be seriously injured.
As a protection, you can use preventive treatments. A veterinarian will help you decide on the right drug.
For additional protection, consider sprays and collars against parasites.
When walking with your pet, you can wear light-colored clothing to make it easier to spot the insect, which quickly moves from the grass or bushes.
Clothes should also be treated with sprays. This rule applies not only to cats and dogs, but also to people.
After each walk, you must examine yourself and the animal.
If a tick is found, it should be destroyed immediately. If it has already attached itself, it is important to remove it correctly.
The pest must not be torn off, otherwise part of it may remain on the skin and cause inflammation.
You need to carefully unscrew it and treat the bite site.
The tick should be taken to a laboratory to determine whether it has been infected.
It wouldn't hurt to get some tests done.
If you are afraid to remove the tick yourself, you should immediately contact a veterinarian and have a doctor do it.
