7 Ways to Prevent Fleas and Ticks...

Fleas and ticks are more than just annoying pests — they can cause real health problems for your pets. But withsome simple steps, you can help protect your furry friends from these parasites and prevent any discomfort. Here are the top seven ways to do it.

1. Treat for fleas and ticks year-round.
While it's true that fleas and ticks are more common in the summer months (they thrive in temperatures between 65 and 80 degrees), some can also survive indoors during the winter — even in cold climates. For this reason, many veterinarians recommend year-round preventive measures to protect pets. There are many products from which to choose — check with your vet for the best one to meet your pet's individual needs.Make sure you read and carefully follow your veterinarian’s instructions for how and when to use the product. This is the best way to guarantee that it will effectively protect your pet.

2. Do not use old preventive products.
If you have old flea or tick products to which you have been holding on, it is probably time to trade them in for something new. Old products, especially ones past their expiration date, can lose effectiveness. And you always want to check with your vet about new brands or products in the marketplace that may work better than what you've traditionally been using.

3. Do not use a canine product on cats.
Some flea and tick preventives that are formulated for dogs contain an ingredient that is toxic to cats. It can cause very severe reactions in cats, which require immediate veterinary care. The product label will clearly indicate the species for which it has been approved. Be sure to use products only as intended.

4. Do regular tick checks.
If you and your pet have been in an area that might have ticks, be sure to do a tick check once you're indoors, inspectingyour pet’s skin, ears and armpits for ticks. Deer ticks, for example, have to bite your pet and be attached for approximately 24 hours in order to transmit the pathogen that causes Lyme disease, so the best way to prevent transmission is finding and getting rid of any ticks as soon as possible. And though not every tick bite transmits a disease, it's a good idea to alert your veterinarian that your pet has been bitten. You'll alsowant to monitor your pet’s behavior for any changes, such as lethargy, limping or loss of appetite.

5. Groom your pet regularly.
Grooming is a great way to spend quality time with your pet. It also helps you keep an eye out for any external parasites that may be hiding under your pet’s haircoat.

6. Clean up your yard.
Along with keeping a well-maintained house, be sure to clean up your yard, too. Mow your lawn regularly, as ticks tend to like high grasses. Fleas prefer warm, moist, shady areas with organic debris. Raking leaves, brush and clippings from your yard will give fleas fewer places to hide and breed.

7. Get regular checkups.
One important thing your veterinarian does during your pet’s routine checkup is examine him for any signs of parasite problems to help ensure that the preventive product you are using is working effectively. However, you should contact your veterinarian right away if you have questions at any time about the product.

Conditions Caused By Fleas and Ticks
Fleas and ticks can cause a number of health problems in pets. Keeping your pet flea- and tick-free not only makes him comfortable, but it also helps him stay healthy, by avoiding these problems:

Flea allergy dermatitis is an allergic reaction to the saliva left behind from flea bites and can cause itching, inflammation and hair loss.
In very young or very small pets with extreme flea infestations, significant blood loss from flea bites can lead to anemia, the signs of which include pale gums, weakness and fatigue. Readily apparent fleas and scratching should alert you to contact your veterinarian.
Although they are not transmitted directly by flea bites, fleas commonly cause tapeworms. This occurs during grooming if a pet ingests a flea that is carrying tapeworm larva. Contact your veterinarian if you notice your pet itching around his a**s, or if you spot what looks like rice around his a**s or in his f***s.
Lyme disease is one of the biggest tick-transmitted threats in certain areas of the country and can cause swollen joints, lameness, poor appetite and fever in pets.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever is a serious infection that can cause fever, decreased appetite and painful joints and muscles in pets. Despite its name, Rocky Mountain spotted fever can be transmitted by infected ticks in other areas of the country.
Ehrlichiosis can be a mild or serious infection. Your pet may experience depression, anorexia, a high fever, loss of appetite or bleeding problems.

Have fun and keep your pets safe this memorial weekend!

'Top Memorial Day safety tips.

1. Keep your Pet Indoors at All Times

It may seem obvious, but even if your dog is used to being outside, the resulting anxiety caused by fireworks or other loud noises may cause him or her to break their restraint or jump a fence in a terrified attempt to find safety.

2. Use Pet-Friendly Insect Repellant

The same tip applies to applying “people” sunscreen on your pet. What isn’t toxic to humans can be toxic to animals. The ASPCA lists the poisonous effects of sunscreen on your pet as, “…drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, excessive thirst and lethargy.” Meanwhile, DEET, a common insecticide in products for humans, may cause neurological issues in dogs.

3. Don't Give Dogs Alcohol

It may seem obvious, but alcohol is extremely dangerous to dogs. Just small amounts of alcohol can cause your dog become dangerously intoxicated, go into a coma, or in severe cases, die from respiratory failure. Yes, even beer is toxic; fermented hops and ethanol are poisonous to dogs (and cats).

4. Going to a Fireworks Display? Leave Your Pet at Home

The safest place for your dog is at home, not in a crowded, unfamiliar, and noisy place. The combination of too many people and loud fireworks will make your beloved pet freak out and desperately seek shelter. Locking him or her in the car is also not an option; your pet may suffer brain damage and heat stroke.

5. Have Your Dog Properly Identified

Without proper identification it is extremely difficult to retrieve a lost dog. Consider fitting your dog with microchip identification, ID tags with his or her name and your phone number, or both. It is also a good idea to have a recent picture of your dog in case you have to put up signs.

6. Keep Your Dog Away from Glow Jewelry

It might look cute, but your dog could chew up and swallow the plastic adornments. The ASPCA states that while not highly toxic, “excessive drooling and gastrointestinal irritation could still result from ingestions, and intestinal blockage could occur from swallowing large pieces of the plastic containers.”

7. Don't Use Fireworks Near Dogs

While lit fireworks can pose a danger to curious dogs and potentially result in severe burns and/or trauma to the face and paws, even unused fireworks can be hazardous. Some fireworks contain potentially toxic substances such as arsenic, potassium nitrate, and other heavy metals.

8. Don’t Give Your Dog 'Table Food'

If you are having a backyard barbecue, you may be tempted to slip some snacks to your dog. But like beer and chocolate, there are other festive foods that could harm your pet. Onions, coffee, avocado, grapes and raisins, salt, and yeast dough are all possible hazards for dogs (and cats).

9. Lighter Fluid and Matches Are Harmful to Dogs

The ASPCA lists chlorates as a harmful chemical substance found in some matches that, if ingested, can cause your dog difficulty in breathing, damage to blood cells, or even cause kidney disease. If exposed to lighter fluid, your pet may sustain skin irritation on contact, respiratory problems if inhaled, and gastric problems if ingested.

10. Don’t Use Citronella Insect Control Products

Oils, candles, insect coils, and other citronella-based repellants are irritating toxins to dogs, according to the ASPCA. The result of inhalation can cause severe respiratory illnesses such as pneumonia, and ingestion can harm your pet’s nervous system.

The safest and best bet for celebrating this Memorial Day with your dogs is to exclude them from festivities, at least this time around. Instead, find a safe, secure spot in the home for your dog while you go out and enjoy the loud bangs, bright lights, and spectator fun. Your dog will appreciate the quiet a lot more than you’ll enjoy the noise.'
