Tick Repellent Safeguards Canine Health

By Dorothy Stewart


Pests are constantly moving around the place in search of a host. Some can be quickly detected when they attack your dogs, because they are quite large. Others are easily hidden because they are tiny. They can do great damage over time. A quality tick repellent enhances the safety of your home.

Many repellents are manufactured and available. Your local veterinary clinic will often have several but they are not the only suppliers. You can also shop online for options that suit your particular requirements. These all have different methods of application, making it easy to get members of your family involved in caring for your pets. This is not something to take lightly. Families should exercise the same care with this as they do with nutrition.

Sprays are generally utilized by owners because they enjoy the speed of application and other benefits. They can see for themselves that essential areas have been given a layer of protection. Regulate the pump action to ensure that the treatment spreads evenly through the hair and adheres to the skin. This is critical since you want to avoid leaving any skin exposed. Faster methods include formulations that can be placed in just one spot. These help to reduce the time spent on prevention. Allergic reactions are averted since they are not dispersed through the air as much.

Check all the ingredients of any chemicals you are thinking of using. You may occasionally find something that can be irritating to your canine companion. Many consumers nowadays are quite diligent about this step. Even while shopping via the Internet, information is readily available. Carefully consider your own reactions, since you will apply it and have it in your environment.

Ticks are always dangerous for several reasons. The most obvious is that of lost blood. The pests slowly pull the blood from your canine, making them weaker with each day that passes. With a high pest population, health problems will develop. Owners must consider acting speedily to prevent that type of situation.

Vector borne disease is another danger wherever a tick is present. The pest may not get sick from whatever it carries but it can bite all the animals in your yard and infect them. This is a problem for both humans and companion animals. Lyme disease affects humans in several negative ways. It may cause physical weakness and you may have to take sick days from work. A dog can suffer from fever or lameness.

Year round prevention is important when it comes to controlling pests. It is tempting to only think about it when a crisis arises. At that point, it is a lot harder to control the problem. Tackle it on a regular basis by using a repellent that is easy to apply. Most have been developed for monthly use so owners only need to remember it once a month.

Check your animal regularly for any signs such as red or sore skin. With a thick coat, it is easier to miss things so move carefully through the hair. Observe their environment, taking note of areas where they rest.
