Fleas are especially common in dogs and other warm-blooded animals during the summer months due to higher temperatures and humidity. Dogs often catch fleas from other dogs or their environment. Fleas jump on their host and bite, causing itching, hair loss, hot spots, and inflammatory lesions, sometimes leading to skin infections. Dirt-like particles on your pet may indicate flea feces. Female fleas can live for several weeks, laying 20–30 eggs daily, some of which may reinfect your pet while others fall off into the environment. For full prevention, both pets and the home should be treated.
Ticks are parasitic insects that attach to warm-blooded hosts, typically dogs. They are usually found in woodland areas or tall grass. Dogs that spend time outdoors are more prone to encountering ticks, which attach and feed on blood for days. Ticks can transmit diseases such as Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, or Babesiosis. Tick bites can cause anemia, joint swelling, fever, and paralysis. Always check your pet for ticks after outdoor activities, especially in wooded areas. Consult a veterinarian if your pet shows signs of illness following a tick bite.
