Remember that day when we first saw our pet, their tiny hands, their shiny eyes, their warm body always makes us feel at home, and it also feels like we have found our soulmate. We promise ourselves on that very first day that no matter what, we will always protect this little soul.

Ticks and Fleas are the major concerns in pets. It causes irritation on their skin that may result in an allergy and tick-borne disease unless they are treated early enough.
Join hands with us, where we will shield the dogs against fleas and ticks and create awareness about this vital problem. Whenever we take care of people who have always taken care of us, even the slightest thing counts a lot in their lives.
Why Is It Important To Remove Ticks And Fleas
Our pets are the victims of ticks and fleas. They not only bite and make it itchy, but also can have diseases that may result in severe health conditions. Fleas are one example of these triggers and are capable of producing allergies, anemia, and tapeworm infection. Similar to ticks, they are also capable of transmitting Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and a lot of other diseases that cause harm to pets and people.
But these Ticks and Fleas don’t only harm pets – they also cause harm to wildfires and ecosystems. Some common on-the-spot treatments contain some harmful chemicals like fipronil and imidacloprid, but this ends up polluting.
Smart Prevention With Vet-Approved Techniques
It is easier to protect your pets from fleas and ticks with simpler methods acceptable to the vets. Such methods are aimed at protecting your pets in a safe environment and yet maintaining their health and comfort. Prevention will keep your pets happy, healthy, itch-free, and between proper and regular treatments. The following are the techniques:
- Vet consultation
Always see a professional vet, and this is more so in the case of puppies. Many of the ticks and flea products requires pets to be at least 7-8 weeks old
- Use Year-Round Prevention
Fleas can survive indoors, and ticks can exist at temperatures as low as 40°F. Protect all year round.
- Perform Regular Tick Checks
Examine the ears of the cheeks, neck, belly, and paws and tail during walks, especially on grass or in the woods. You should remove ticks with great caution when you spot them using either tweezers or a tick tool, but a veterinarian should be consulted afterwards.
- Clean Environments
Use of vacuum carpets, washing bedding regularly, and treating outside areas. Eggs of fleas can be concealed in the carpets or soil, persisting long after the pests have disappeared.
Greener Alternatives And Green Sanity
We are crazy about our pets- and we are even crazier about Earth. The following is a way to combat fleas and ticks, and at the same time be environmentally friendly:
- Take Topical Cautions
Certain spot-on products are very dangerous to waterways since they contain chemicals. When used, groom the dog inside and bag the fur, and dispose. Do not rinse containers – put them away closed.
- Oral and Injectable Options
These can minimize environmental hazard as opposed to topical products. Some injectables provide six-month protection against fleas and prevent surface runoff.
- Environmental “Housekeeping”
Wash your pets, bedding, vacuum, and clean your home and yard often. This is able to significantly mitigate pest occupancy without an increase in chemicals.
- Use Natural Repellents on Plants
Even natural herbs like rosemary and wormwood (artemisia) can keep away the fleas and Ticks.
- Daily Activities That Create Defense and Comfort
Even such natural remedies that are considered rather ordinary, as garlic, essential oils or vinegar sprays, are not necessarily effective, and, in fact, are harmful to pets (garlic may cause anemia, essential oils may cause poisoning etc.).
