Dogs that spend a good
time outdoors can easily get ticks when they ran through dense vegetation.
Ticks are present on the blades of grass waiting for an
unsuspecting dog to pass by so they can attach to the animal. During the peak of the
tick season, it is recommended that dogs not be allowed to venture into shrubs
and grassy areas.
Prevention is the best
way to protect your pet against tick infestation. There are many tick
prevention products available and they are not created equal. These are
available in powder form, sprays, oral medication, topical preparation,
injection, and the tick collar. If your dog is fond of swimming or playing with
other dogs, a tick collar may not be an ideal choice because it is embedded
with toxic chemicals. You should ask your veterinarian for a product that is
safe and effective for your pet. Talking with your vets Teller County, CO
will enable you to pick the best tick prevention production for your dog.
