Flea and Tick Prevention and Flea Allergy Dermatitis:
If you are a new pet owner or just simply haven’t paid much attention to flea and tick prevention, you might be wondering why this is so important. There are so many reasons why you should be doing everything in your power to ensure your pet stays flea and tick free. Did you know that some pets are allergic to flea bites? The clinical name for this is Flea Allergy Dermatitis. If your pet is allergic to flea bites it can cause irritation to the skin. The good news is if you are using some sort of flea or tick prevention the flea or tick is not able to transmit the organism that causes the disease. If your pet has Flea Allergy Dermatitis he or she is more likely to develop a tapeworm. While Flea Allergy Dermatitis is treatable, it can become very expensive for the pet owner and uncomfortable for your pet. The only way to truly prevent this condition is by ensuring your pet stays flea and tick free.
Not only are fleas and ticks a health hazard for humans but they are a huge menace to your dog or cat. Most pet owners do not realize that diseases can be transferred from fleas to humans. Fleas feed on rats and other rodents that carry bacteria and diseases that are dangerous to humans. If you do not control fleas before they become a problem, the situation can easily get out of control. An infestation of fleas in your home can be incredibly hard to get rid of and control.
