Ticks are becoming more active and their season is getting longer due to climate change. They pose a risk to both humans and animals, including dogs and cats, as they can transmit diseases such as Lyme disease. There are three main options for tick protection: collars, oral medications, and topicals. It is important to consult with a veterinarian to determine the best option for your pet and to ensure maximum effectiveness. Regular checks for ticks on your pet, especially after being in tall vegetation, are recommended. If a tick is found, it should be removed carefully with tweezers. Any unusual symptoms in your pet should be reported to a veterinarian for further evaluation. [Extracted from the article] |
