Since ticks attach themselves when we enjoy outdoor walks with our dog, it is recommended that we inspect our pet after each outing by running our hand through its coat or combing it. Every corner should be checked, including the areas most likely to harbor ticks: the toes, around the ears and the armpits.
Medications
Our veterinarian may recommend an annual Lyme disease vaccine, which is a good protection for our dog, although it is not 100% effective. Other antiparasitic medications, much more effective than the vaccine, can also be administered in the form of drops to be applied to the animal or easy to chew tablets.
Collier anti-tiques
Le collier anti-tiques a une efficacité de plusieurs mois, mais reste un pesticide toxique pour tous. La plupart des colliers sont composés d’imidaclopride et de fluméthrine diffusées lentement et en continu sur notre chien.
