Ticks in dogs. Removing and preventing ticks.

Effective methods for removing and preventing ticks in dogs

We're not the only ones who are happy about the sun, flowers and spring-like temperatures. As soon as the first warm rays of sunshine have touched the ground, annoying little beasts are celebrating the end of their winter hibernation.

At the forefront: ticks.

They wait on grass, bushes and branches close to the ground, just waiting to feed on the nearest blood. They don't differentiate between victims: birds, forest animals, your four-legged friend or even you are all part of the target group.

Disgusting and harmful to health

Unfortunately, the little creatures are not only disgusting, but also really harmful to health. Diseases such as Lyme disease and TBE, which we know from humans, can also affect our four-legged friends. The pathogens are in the ticks' saliva and can contain bacteria and viruses, which in the worst case can lead to the diseases already mentioned.

Borrelia are bacteria that often cause symptoms such as fever, paralysis, swollen lymph nodes and can lead to damage to the nerves, kidneys and heart. TBE - early summer meningoencephalitis - is a treacherous disease caused by viruses. It can be fatal for both humans and our four-legged family members.

So what is the best way to protect ourselves and our loved ones?

ATTENTION. It costs nothing, except a few minutes of our time. Checking after a walk and after playing in the meadow is a must. Just as we check ourselves out of caution, we should also do the same with our dogs.

The most popular places for ticks are the armpits, behind the ears, eyebrows, on the chest and the inside of the flanks. For short-haired breeds, it is best to search from paw to head. A brush also helps with our fluffy pets.

CHEMISTRY. Is and remains the most effective remedy against all biting beasts. But we must keep in mind that these are neurotoxins that can be dangerous for dogs and humans.

What happens when it has happened?

And then it happened. A tick bit you. As soon as you find a tick on your pet, it is important to use special tick tweezers. The shape and function are designed precisely for this.

You should only use standard tweezers in an emergency.

Have you been able to remove the tick without leaving any residue? Then disinfect the bite site and it will heal quickly. We recommend a silver spray, which you can also find in our shop.

Is the tick's head stuck? Contact your veterinarian to be on the safe side.
