Tick Born Diseases in Pets: What To Do And How To Treat
Warm weather brings out a host of parasites that like to prey on pets, including the tick. Ticks, while annoying and bothersome, can also be deadly for our dogs. Ticks carry a range of diseases within their bodies, and when they attach to a dog, these various diseases can be transferred through their saliva. The ideal way to avoid any tick born diseases is to attempt to prevent them. Monthly application of flea and tick preventative is a must, as it kills ticks within a short time frame. This alone does not always prevent the spread of disease, and it is possible for a tick to remain on a dog long enough to pass a disease (for example, if it is close to reapplication of preventative).
