Flea and Tick Prevention

Flea and tick prevention is a crucial part of your pet's overall health care. If you have a pet who is not on tick and flea prevention medication, call Tierrasanta Veterinary Hospital in San Diego, CA, to get started. We can give your pet the health assessment they need as well as the preventative medication that is so important to their health.

Fleas, Ticks, and Pets

When your pet is left vulnerable to bites from fleas and ticks, this also means that they're vulnerable to the many diseases they can spread. Fleas have saliva that pets are allergic to, so they often break out in rashes and have itchy bumps around the bite areas. Some pets will have worse reactions to the bites and will have widespread allergic reactions. This can greatly affect the health of the pet as well as its quality of life. Fleas can also spread several bacterial diseases to pets. They can also spread tapeworms.

Ticks can be just as serious, and in many cases, worse, for pets. They can spread several very serious bacterial diseases to pets that can leave them very ill. Some of these can even be fatal to them. It's never a good idea to leave a pet vulnerable to these bites.

Tick and Flea Prevention

Pets should have a health exam every year to check their overall health. This will let the veterinarian know whether they are healthy enough to have flea and tick prevention medication. This type of medicine will keep them free of fleas and ticks to keep their health safer. They are usually chewable tablets, but some pills and injections can administer them. Our veterinarian will tell you which type your pet needs to be on.
