There are currently around 200 different species of fleas and ticks that can be found in the United States. Their habitats include wooded areas, beach grass, forest areas, lawns and urban areas. Fleas and ticks tend to thrive in areas with moderate temperatures and have high humidity.

 

Fleas and ticks can cause more than just discomfort or skin irritation to your pets, and the problems they cause can range from irritating to life-threatening. Fleas and ticks can cause allergic reactions and can be carriers of dangerous diseases which could be transmitted to your pets.

 

Fleas are small wingless parasitic insects that live off the blood of mammals and birds. Fleas have four stages in their life

cycle. Egg, larva, pupa & adult. The fleas life cycle can last from 2 weeks to a year, depending on the environment, temperature, humidity, and food availability.

 

A pet that becomes infested with fleas, can develop allergic reactions to the fleas’ saliva. This can lead to rashes and loss of fur from excessive scratching or biting. Fleas can carry diseases such as Lyme disease.

Ticks are parasitic vertebrates that are arachnids like mites or spiders that infest mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians.
Ticks can transmit serious diseases such as rickettsial diseases like Rocky Mountain spotted fever and ehrlichiosis to dogs and to humans.

 

Generally there are two types of flea treatments used to for flea and tick control. One is to prevent infestation and the other is

to treat an active infestation. There are many types of flea and tick treatments on the market today that include foggers, sprays, dips, powders, dusts, collars, oral liquids, oral tablets, and liquid one-spot topical treatments. The most popular products today tend to be the spot on method offered by Frontline Plus, Advantage, and K9 Advantix.

 

Frontline Flea and Tick control products are just a few Pet Medicines that VetMedicines.com offers at Discount Prices for preventative treatment and infested treatment.

 

Treating your pet after they become infested is only part of the solution. After treating your pet don't forget to treat their

environment. Wash your pets bedding regularly and vacumming frequently helps control flea populations and infestation.

 

Pets that spend less time outside are at a lesser risk of getting fleas or ticks. Being proactive helps treat the cause and not

just the symptoms. Mow grass regularly and try to avoid allowing your pet to spend time in wooded or beach areas, and poorly maintained grassy areas.

Preventing Fleas and Ticks before they become a problem is cheaper than controlling them once they are a problem. For example, adult fleas are only 1-5% of the flea population. The adult fleas do the bloodsucking damage and spread tapeworms, but at least 95% of the flea population that exist are eggs, larvae, and pupae that hide in carpets and yards and pet bedding.

 

Using Flea and Tick Preventatives can help your pet avoid the following:

It is imperative to use caution when using flea treatment and prevention. Make sure that the product you are using is specifically meant for your pet. Do not use medications indicated for dogs on cats, and vice versa, as your pet could become seriously ill or die. In case of accidental administration seek immediate veterinary assistance.
