Flea and tick infestations are among the main concerns for pet owners. These parasites cause discomfort and allergies, and can transmit serious diseases.
Health risks
Fleas feed on blood and can trigger intense allergic dermatitis. Ticks can transmit dangerous infectious agents.
Preventive methods
There are several effective methods: anti-parasitic collars, topical pipettes, oral tablets, and sprays. Each product should be recommended by a veterinarian.
Environmental hygiene
Washing blankets, vacuuming carpets, and keeping yards clean eliminates eggs and larvae. Inspect the coat after walks in green areas.
