Ticks & Fleas
MSD Animal Health Live Show - 13:00, 23rd September 2014
Keeping our precious pooches healthy is the number one priority for responsible pet owners, yet how many of us only take our dogs to the vet when they get sick, or they are in pain?
Preventative health care is a key aspect of responsible dog ownership, and moving from the summer months into autumn and eventually winter can be a challenging time.
On the back of a long, dry summer and mild autumn we can expect to see a much higher prevalence of ticks this autumn.
And as we move into the cooler winter months and turn on our central heating, we need to be aware of the potential for fleas to multiply in our warm homes. So what do we need to look out for, to ensure our pets are not subjected to unwanted passengers and the diseases they can bring.
Log on to our web TV show where Chris Packham and leading vet, Paul Sands, answer your questions and talk through what you can do to ensure your dogs remain parasite and disease free.
