How to Prevent and Treat Fleas and Ticks? New Dog Owners, Check This Out! 🐾

🔥 Summer is really the peak season for flea and tick infestations. If pet owners are not careful, little dogs will suffer~ In severe cases, it could cost them their lives! Without further ado, here's the right way to handle fleas and ticks.

-
✅ **Fleas**

❶ Symptoms of Infection: Red spots and patches, dandruff and black spots, localized hair loss, dogs frequently scratching with their legs (if you see black spots, put them in water; if they turn bloody, it's an infection). Fleas can also bite humans, causing dermatitis, etc.

❷ Correct Handling:
▪️ Trim and clean the dog's fur thoroughly
▪️ Use external deworming medication monthly
▪️ Clean the house thoroughly once
▪️ Bathe frequently (once a week during the summer), avoid grass areas
▪️ Groom regularly, clean dog supplies periodically

-
✅ **Ticks**

❶ Symptoms of Infection: Ticks can be seen with the naked eye, attached to the dog's body. They generally cause localized skin ulcers, blood loss, anemia, and in severe cases, respiratory failure leading to death.

❷ Correct Handling:
▪️ Dab a cotton swab in alcohol and apply it to the tick
▪️ Slowly pull it out with tweezers, don't yank (grip at the mouthparts)
▪️ After removal, disinfect the wound with iodine
⚠️ Note: If you're a beginner and not confident, immediately take your dog to the vet🏥. Do not attempt to handle it yourself to avoid complications, and don't touch ticks with your hands as they can be very harmful to humans as well.
