Why is it important to be vigilant about protecting dogs from pests like mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks, especially during warmer months?
Health & Wellness
Warmer temperatures bring an increase in outdoor activities and also a surge in pest activity, including mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks. These pests can cause discomfort, transmit serious diseases like heartworm, Lyme disease, and Bartonella, and trigger allergic reactions that can lead to more severe health issues. While some pests, like fleas, can also thrive indoors year-round, warmer months generally present a higher risk of exposure. Vigilance in prevention and early detection is crucial to safeguard a dog’s health and well-being.
