Fleas & Ticks in your pets

Keeping Your Pets Safe from Fleas & Ticks

Pets can be at risk of being bitten by fleas and ticks, even if they never go outside. That makes it important for all pets to be on a prevention medication from the veterinarian. If your pet is not on a flea and tick prevention regimen, call our Downey, CA, office to schedule a pet exam. Then, your pet can be put onto a medication that is right for them. We at Firestone Animal Hospital know a lot about flea and tick prevention.

Flea Bites

Flea bites can cause allergic skin reactions as well as system-wide allergic reactions that can hurt the health of your pet. Fleas can transmit diseases to your pet, and pets can get anemia and tapeworms from them as well. Fleas are much more than just a nuisance to pets, and it's important to make sure that your pet is protected from them with the right medication.

Tick Bites

Ticks are notorious for spreading terrible diseases to pets. They spread several bacterial diseases to dogs and cats, and these can even be fatal. Many diseases from ticks cause terrible symptoms that can dehydrate pets quickly as well as make them feel miserable. If you are not keeping your pet protected from ticks, you are not safeguarding your pet's health.

Flea and Tick Medication

To keep your pets safe from flea and tick bites, it's necessary to have your pet taking a prevention medication regularly. There are many chewable versions of these medications so that they are easy for your pet to take. Others are pills or even injections to keep your pet free from these parasites. Our veterinarian will help you know the best medication for your pet's health as well as your lifestyle.
