Why is Flea and Tick Control Important?

Simply put, these pests not only cause discomfort for your pet, but also carry dangerous diseases. The goal of prevention is a matter of using the right products as supplied by your Fairfax mobile veterinarian.

Fleas

The most notable symptom that your pet has fleas is relentless scratching. You may notice sores or hair loss, and if the pet is really infested, you’ll see flea dirt and perhaps some fleas when you part the hair and examine the skin.  Besides creating misery, fleas also carry parasites, including tapeworms. Flea Allergy Dermatitis is another serious issue that occurs when the pet has a severe allergic reaction to flea bites.

Ticks

Ticks also carry and transmit dangerous diseases including Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Fever, among others. If you and your pet spend time outdoors, it’s important to regularly check for ticks by looking for and examining any hard raised bump on his or her skin.

Preventing Fleas and Ticks with Fairfax Mobile Veterinary Services

Different forms and types of preventive flea products abound and depending on your preference, they can be administered orally or topically. In fact, many flea control products are also effective against ticks.  More difficult to treat is an infestation of fleas on your pet and in your home. However, your mobile veterinarian can bring whatever you need right to your door.

Fleas and ticks can wreak havoc and cause misery if they get a foothold on your pet. However, prevention is easy especially when your Fairfax veterinarian brings the treatments right to your home.
