Due to the advancement of veterinary services, pet owners can now avail home veterinary services for their pets and get them treated in the comfort of their home. Every month, more than 100 pets get some sort of a medical treatment at their home in Toronto alone. Veterinary clinics in Canada have now started providing the service of home pet euthanasia too for pets that are suffering from extreme health adversities.

Flea & tick Protection for Pets

A large number of such health problems in pets are caused due to the various parasites and infections which these pets catch from insects, fleas and ticks. The danger of your pet being attacked from a flea/tick persists always, however, there is a lot that you can do to avert this danger. Following are some measures which pet owners can adopt to protect their pet from a flea or a tick attack.

  1. Use a flea comb on your pet daily. Try to closely examine the pet’s skin that is present between their toes and their ear folds. Fleas and ticks that were not removed can be killed by giving your pet a bath in warm water that has an anti-flea solution. This will instantly remove and kill them.

  2. Nowadays markets are flooded with accessories that can help you to monitor the entry of these parasites into your house. Flea collars, pills, sprays or drops are certain methods which can help to prevent the entry of fleas and ticks in the house. This will ultimately bring less harm to your pet.

  3. Try keeping your home’s interiors clean. Fleas and ticks generally have a tendency of hiding-out and then maturing in those areas of the house that stay dirty an untouched like the carpet, sofa or a furniture. Vacuum your entire house to suck-up these blood-sucking tenants from your house.

  4. Experts that provide home veterinary services also frequently advice pet owners to use diatomaceous earth on their pets. This is nothing but a harmless powder made-up of tiny fossilized sea creatures. According to vets, sprinkling this powder on the pet daily will kill these insects from dehydration.

  5. Feeding your pet a healthy, homemade natural diet on a regular basis along with a few supplements can also help you to keep your pet at bay from these pesky insects. A teaspoon of brewer's yeast, a pinch of cinnamon, garlic, flaxseed oil etc. are some commonly advised supplements for this purpose.

Pet owners should never confuse the abilities of fleas and ticks with their size. These parasitic creatures can bring the most fatal health problems for your pet. Hence, it is best to ward them off at the first sight. We, at Mobile Vet Service provide a wide array of medical services for vets along with home veterinary services.
