Flea & Tick Season Has Arrived - Are Your Pets Protected? 🪳🐾
Flea & Tick Season is Back 🪳
As the weather gets warmer, we love this but this does mean that fleas & ticks are now coming back onto your furry friends coat! Here at Buddycare, we have an amazing and effective Flea & Tick Range that will help you with these pesky things but also have created some tips to help you manage them throughout the summer months.
Flea & ticks are most active during the spring and summer months as they love warm and humid weather.
Shorten Your Buddies Walks 👟
Keeping walks a little shorter can help reduce your dog's exposure to fleas & ticks. They's still get all the exercise they need, but it's best to avoid long grass and stick to paths or open spaces where these pests are less common.
After every walk, take a moment to check over your dog's coat and skin. A quick once over can help you spot any unwanted critters before they become a bigger problem.
Wash Your Buddies Regularly 🛁
During walks and playtime with other dogs, your buddy can easily pick up unwanted critters.
Regular bathing helps remove fleas & ticks before they become a problem. Using a targeted shampoo - Buddycare's Flea & Tick Shampoo - can make all the difference! It is specially formulated to help eliminate pests while soothing your dog's skin and coat.
Infused with tea tree, eucalyptus and coconut oil, it provides gentle, all over care without irritation.
Also available for Cats.
Check Your Buddies 🐶
The sooner you spot a flea or tick, the easier it is to prevent an infestation. Ticks often hide in the head, neck, ears, armpits, groin and tummy,
We recommend regular checks, especially after walks or time spent outdoors, to keep your buddy safe and comfortable.
Keep An Eye Out For Any Signs 👀
Early signs of fleas include itching, scratching, chewing or whimpering. Watch for hair loss or red, inflamed skin, which usually comes from excessive scratching.
If your buddy needs relief, our Buddycare Antiseptics Flea & Tick Relief Spray is perfect. It targets bites to provide fast relief for irritated skin while being antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral so it helps keep the skin clean and healthy.
Know When to Seek Professional Help 🩺
If your dog still shows signs of flea & ticks, such as excessive itching or hair loss, even after washing and using targeted products, it's time to call your pet. Professional guidance can help protect your buddy and get them back to feeling their best.
By regularly checking your pup after walks and using the right products, you can help keep fleas and ticks at bay, especially now, as these pests are becoming more common. A little care goes a long way in keeping your buddy happy, healthy and itch free!
