By Telavets – Your Telemedicine Sidekick for Healthy, Happy DogsIs your dog scratching like they’ve just walked through a field of fleas? Or maybe you’ve noticed them shaking their head or licking their paws a little too much? Fleas and ticks are more than just an annoying nuisance—they can cause serious health issues for your dog, from skin infections to more dangerous diseases like Lyme disease and ehrlichiosis.
But don’t worry! Telavets is here to help with expert advice and quick solutions for keeping your dog flea- and tick-free, without leaving the house.
Why Fleas & Ticks Are a Big Deal for Dogs
- Fleas: These tiny insects can cause intense itching, skin infections, and even anemia in severe cases.
- Ticks: Ticks latch onto your dog’s skin and feed on their blood. They can transmit diseases like Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and babesiosis.
- Both Fleas and Ticks: They’re more than just a nuisance—they can affect your dog’s health, behavior, and overall comfort.
