We all want to protect our four-legged friends from the threat of fleas and ticks and it\u2019s not always easy to know the best way to do this with the myriad of products available. From shampoos to spot-ons to collars to tablets; the options seem endless. Here we will look at the benefits of a vet recommended collar, trusted by experts, which is now available without the need for a prescription \u2013 Seresto Flea and Tick Control collar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fleas<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fleas and ticks \u2013 more than just a bite<\/strong>
Fleas and ticks are both blood feeding parasites that will happily use your pet (and even you!) for a free meal. However, the impact of fleas and ticks on your dog can be greater than \u2018just a bite\u2019\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fleas:<\/strong>
Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD)<\/strong> \u2013 this condition is an allergic reaction to flea saliva that irritates the skin and can cause intense itching for your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tapeworm<\/strong> \u2013 if your dog ingests an infected flea they can become infected with tapeworm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diseases<\/strong> \u2013 infected fleas can pass on diseases to dogs when they bite. One study found that half of fleas carried at least one bacterial disease<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anaemia<\/strong> \u2013 multiple flea bites can lead to loss of blood, resulting in anaemia, which is particularly dangerous for flea-infested puppies, small breeds, elderly dogs and pregnant bitches, who may also be more vulnerable to heavy infestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fleas are also prolific breeders, with females laying up to 2,000 eggs in their lifetime. The majority of the flea life cycle doesn\u2019t actually occur on your furry friend \u2013 the eggs drop off around your home, developing into larvae, pupae and then juvenile fleas. In fact, only 5% of the flea population is found on your pet in an infestation, the other 95% is in the environment \u2013 lurking in carpets and soft furnishings! This can make treating a flea infestation tricky, as you not only need to think about treating your pets, but also your home. Ensuring your dog is protected from fleas can help to protect you and your home from an infestation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ticks:<\/strong>
Ticks can carry a range of diseases, which can be transmitted to your dog when they bite and feed. These include Lyme disease and canine babesiosis, both of which are serious conditions and require veterinary treatment. Using a product on your dog that repels and kills ticks before they get a chance to bite helps to prevent them passing on any nasty diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prevention is better than treatment:<\/strong>
Seresto Flea and Tick Control collar kills fleas and repels & kills ticks without the need for them to bite your pet * The collar\u2019s slow-release dosing allows the active ingredients to spread across your pet\u2019s skin and coat at a controlled and steady rate, for all-over protection. It lasts for up to eight months in a single application \u2013 the longest lasting flea and tick protection available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
