Ticks and Pets

Ticks are harmful to both humans and pets, and humans can certainly catch ticks from being around a pet infested with them. Tick bites can introduce several types of dangerous bacteria into your pet’s system, making them extremely sick. Lyme disease is just one serious illness transmitted by tick bites. Rocky Mountain spotted fever is another. Pets can also suffer from protozoal diseases and tick paralysis.

Flea Bites in Pets

Flea bites can also transmit several diseases to pets. The bites can transmit murine typhus, cat scratch disease, and cause anemia in pets. These bites can also cause allergic dermatitis in pets, leading to bites that are swollen, itchy, and irritating. Pets can also swallow fleas containing tapeworm eggs. It is important to safeguard your pet’s health with flea and tick prevention medication.
