Seasonal Woes & Worries: Protecting your pets from fleas and ticks this spring.

It’s crucial to take action to safeguard your animal pals against fleas and ticks as the weather warms up. These small parasites can harm your pet’s health in a number of ways, including skin rashes, infections, and even life-threatening disorders. Fortunately, there are a number of things you can do to keep your pets and home free of flea and tick infestations. Here are some advice from Petinary, a renowned veterinary facility with more than 40 years of expertise in protecting and caring for animals in Madison, Wisconsin.

Use Preventative Medications

Utilizing preventive treatments is among the best strategies to stop flea and tick infestations. These products come in many forms such as topical treatments, medallions, and collars. They function by eliminating or discouraging fleas and ticks before your pet is bitten. Petinary can assist you in selecting the ideal preventative medicine for your pet’s particular needs.


Keep Your Yard Tidy

Fleas and ticks thrive in tall grass and piles of leaves, so it’s important to keep your yard tidy. Regularly mow your lawn and rake up any leaves or debris. You can also create a barrier around your yard by using wood chips or gravel, which will help prevent fleas and ticks from entering.


Check Your Pet for Fleas and Ticks

Even with prophylactic drugs, it’s crucial to often check your pet for fleas and ticks. If your pet spends a lot of time outdoors, this is especially true. Check your pet’s fur with a flea comb for fleas and ticks, paying particular attention to the neck, ears, and tail. Use tweezers or a tick removal instrument to eliminate any parasites you find right away.


Vacuum Your Home

It’s essential that you keep your home tidy because fleas and ticks can potentially invade it. Regularly vacuum your carpets and furnishings, paying close attention to any spots where your pet likes to hang out. Any fleas or ticks that might be hiding in your home will be removed with the help of this.


Visit Your Veterinarian

The health of your pet depends on regular trips to the vet, which can also aid in the prevention of flea and tick infestations. During your pet’s appointment, your veterinarian can check for fleas and ticks, and if required, they can suggest further preventative steps.
