These pests don\u2019t just cause discomfort\u2014they can lead to serious health issues like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Skin irritation and infections<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allergic reactions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tapeworms (from fleas)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.avma.org\/resources-tools\/pet-owners\/petcare\/lyme-disease-dogs\">Lyme disease<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petmd.com\/dog\/conditions\/infectious-parasitic\/c_dg_ehrlichiosis\">ehrlichiosis<\/a>, and other illnesses (from ticks)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not exactly the kind of summer memories you want to make, right? The good news is that a bit of planning goes a long way when it comes to parasite protection for pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make Flea and Tick Prevention a Summer Ritual<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of flea and tick prevention like sunscreen\u2014it\u2019s something you don\u2019t want to skip during summer pet care. Whether you\u2019re heading out for a hike or just enjoying backyard zoomies, prevention keeps your pet protected from unwanted hitchhikers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the most popular options to keep parasites at bay:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Oral medications:<\/strong> Monthly chewables that protect against fleas, ticks, and sometimes even heartworms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Topical treatments:<\/strong> Liquids applied to your pet\u2019s skin\u2014easy to use and long-lasting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sprays and shampoos:<\/strong> Useful for immediate relief or added protection during high-risk activities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flea and tick collars:<\/strong> Can be suitable for long-term coverage, especially for pets who love the outdoors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.coalcreekanimalhospital.com\/staff\/\">Our team<\/a> can help you choose the best option for your pet\u2019s needs and lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Your Home and Yard Pest-Free<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flea and tick prevention doesn\u2019t stop at your pet\u2014it extends to the spaces they love to lounge in.
