Ticks are one of the most prolific external parasitic arachnids that can infest your dog. Mature ticks subsist on their host’s blood and if the infestation is heavy enough, it could cause anemia. Ticks are also prolific carriers of illnesses, quite a number of which are transmittable to people. Tick season usually runs from spring all the way through autumn, however, they are active all-year-round.
Ticks can be found on bushes and shrubs. They tend to quickly latch themselves on passers-by, both humans, and dogs, therefore, bringing them to the household, possibly infecting others. Performing a search for ticks must happen whenever your pet has gone on an outdoor romp. Be particularly attentive to your pet’s ears and in-between his toes. Should you locate a tick, awareness of the proper removal is a must, because incorrect extraction might leave behind tick body parts still stuck in your pet’s skin, possibly causing irritation, infection, and inflammation.
Working with your veterinarian Salisbury, NC in creating a preventative program against ticks is a must, and the program should cover prevention throughout the year, not only during peak tick season.
