Ticks and fleas are a big health hazard for your sweet cuddly pets, especially in coastal regions. They transmit life threatening diseases and spread infections. There are various coastal pet products available for the aim of fighting this menace. Pet owners in coastal areas should take special care of their pets to keep them safe from ticks. |
The very presence of ticks can cause your dearie pet to fall ill. Some of the common diseases that occur due to ticks are –
Anaplasmosis
Ehrlichia
Relapsing fever
Lyme Disease
Rocky mountain spotted fever
East coast fever
Babesiosis
The bacterium of the disease is transferred into the host’s blood with the tick’s bite. The coastal areas of California, Oregon and Washington are home to the Western black-legged tick. Deer, migratory birds, rabbits, mice, raccoons, skunks, dogs, cats, cattle, horses, and humans are some common victims to the attack of these ticks.
Fleas enter the house through many ways. They may be residing there from the beginning as their larvae may remain dormant for a long time under different conditions. Seropositivity is a condition in dogs that occurs due to longer exposure to ticks. It is caused due to the animal’s long stay in the woods, on sandy and fertile soils and even in urban areas.
Proper flea treatment should be done to save your pets from deadly diseases. Flea and tick treatment of pets is a must in warm and moist bush coastal areas such as in Eastern Australia. Flea and Tick treatment prevent respiratory failure and death of your pet caused by paralysis ticks (Ixodes holocyclu). Ask your vet for more advice on flea and tick control.
