Flea And Tick Medicine For Dogs
We all realize that fleas and ticks can be a hassle
for our pets and for ourselves, too. These parasites should be
treated with flea and tick medicine not only because they
are an aggravating issue to deal with, but also because they can
cause many complications in your dog or cat's behavior, as well.
Pets that are being plagued by the pain and itching that comes
from these blood drinking parasites will often experience stress
and distraction that can make behavior problems worse or even
create new issues.
In addition to behavior problems, fleas are known to transmit
other parasites through their bites, such as various types
of internal worms like heartworm. This is a big part of the
reason that treat fleas is important for helping prevent worm
infestations that can affect both cats and dogs alike. Flea
dermatitis is another painful condition that can cause pets
to tear out their fur, creating what are called 'hot spots'
which are not only unsightly, but can lead to infections in
extreme cases.
Ticks carry diseases that can not only affect dogs and cats,
but humans, as well. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Lyme
disease are both tick borne illnesses that can be extremely
dangerous to people. Ticks are much larger than fleas and
can be extremely difficult to dislodge without the proper
medication.
