Dog Fleas and Ticks Tablets: Preventing and Treating

Fleas and ticks are major concerns of dog keepers all year long. These ectoparasites cause diseases like Bartonellosis, Babesiosis, and Lyme, leading to severe itching and skin tissue damage. Tics and fleas are commonly seen in long hair breeds of dogs, e.g., Golden Retrievers and Bernese Mountain Dogs, but ticks can get in any pet as none of the dog breeds is flea resistant.

It's challenging to eradicate them as their larvae multiply rapidly. Summer season provides favorable conditions for tick and flea growth.
