Ticks are pests that can adversely affect your pet’s
overall health. These blood-sucking parasites transmit diseases and can cause
inconvenience to your adorable pup.
Understand that ticks can stay attached to several body parts of your dog they favor, including the eyelids, groin, and toes.
●
Eyelids - Most dog owners do not
think ticks may stay in this region. But, your dog’s eyelids can be a
comfortable habitat for ticks because they are moist and thin. The ticks can
suck blood from this region.
●
Groin - The space between your dog’s
rear legs is attractive to ticks. The parasites enjoy staying in the groin
because it is warm, and they cannot be easily removed or reached by your dog.
●
Toes - Your pup’s toes have spaces in
between. The ticks find these spaces cozy and attractive. Your dog may have
ticks on his toes when you always see him lock or chew his feet.
Remain attentive to your dog’s behavior and activities.
When you see your dog licking or scratching a specific region in his body more
often, he may have ticks. Do check the area/s closely to check if these pesky
parasites are responsible for your pet’s itching.
