We are already seeing fleas and ticks this year on some of our patients. The pictures below are from patients that had not traveled outside Central Oregon.

We often are asked, 'Do we have fleas in Central Oregon?', the answer is yes we do. We and other veterinary clinics are seeing more cases of them. Fleas can be transmitted to both dogs and cats. Fleas can cause mild to severe itching and discomfort to skin problems and infections. They can transmit tapeworms. Fleas will sometimes bite humans which can cause an itchy rash and small bleeding bumps.

Ticks can be harmful to dogs, cats, and humans. Ticks can transmit many kinds of pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses. They carry diseases that are transmittable to humans like Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and other very serious illnesses. If you like to hike or camp, spending time outdoors with your pets be sure to check them and yourself for ticks.

The best way to protect them is with preventatives. If you have any questions regarding how to protect your furry family members please let us know. Call us at 541-362-866 or email at [email protected].

It's that time of year. We are already seeing both fleas and ticks. Are your furry family members protected again them?

Fleas can quickly infest homes, while ticks can be a problem in yards. Fleas and ticks can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, and transmit diseases to humans and other animals.

We have preventatives here at Crooked Tails Veterinary Clinic, let us know if you have questions or are needing some preventative for your furry family members.
