We know how important it is to keep pets protected from a variety of health threats. Mosquitoes and ticks are common vectors of diseases that can seriously affect our furry friends. In this blog, we will explore how you can be the guardian of your pet’s health by taking preventive measures against these unwanted intruders.
Identification and knowledge
The first step to protecting your pet is knowing your enemies. Find out which diseases are prevalent in your region, transmitted by mosquitoes and ticks. Consult your veterinarian for specific information about local threats.
Specific repellents for pets
Invest in pet-friendly repellents, specially formulated for safety and effectiveness. There are spray options, collars and even monthly medications that help ward off mosquitoes and ticks.
Vector-free environments
Keep the environment around your home clean and free from areas prone to the proliferation of mosquitoes and ticks. Eliminate standing water, keep the grass trimmed and avoid accumulation of leaves, creating a less inviting environment for these vectors.
Daily check
Make it a habit to check your pet daily for ticks or signs of mosquito bites. Hard-to-see areas, such as between fingers and ears, are common places for ticks to hide.
Control of internal environments
Use pest control methods indoors. There are pet-safe products that help prevent tick and mosquito infestation indoors.
Protection during outdoor activities
If you enjoy outdoor walks with your pet, make sure he is protected during these activities. Use repellent collars, keep your pet close and avoid areas known to be habitats for ticks and mosquitoes.
If you notice your pet showing any different or strange symptoms, take him to an emergency veterinary appointment immediately!
