After the wettest winter on record, ticks and fleas are certain to be a big issue for cats and dogs this summer. Log on to our live clinic to find out how to spot ticks and fleas on your pet, how to treat them, and how to avoid them in the first place<\/i><\/p>\n
\u00a0Show date: Thursday 1st<\/sup> May<\/strong><\/p>\n Show time: 8:30pm<\/strong><\/p>\n As pet owners, we know that we\u2019re meant to treat our dogs and cats for ticks and fleas but surveys show that most of us don\u2019t do it regularly or properly. In fact, many of us don\u2019t really know what we\u2019re supposed to be looking for and because of this, most of us don\u2019t realise that our pets may be carrying unwanted passengers. And these unwanted passengers can present a health risk to our pets, our homes and even ourselves.<\/p>\n In this tick and flea live clinic broadcasting live from the School of Biological Sciences at Bristol University we will be joined by Richard Wall, a Professor of Zoology at Bristol University; Paul Sands a leading dermatologist and veterinary advisor Renata Turlej.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll also visit a veterinary practice to see how ticks and fleas can be identified, and we\u2019ll learn what simple checks we can make on our dogs and cats to see if they\u2019re carrying ticks or fleas.<\/p>\n At the end of the show you\u2019ll be left in no doubt on how you can spot ticks and fleas on your pets, how you can treat them and how you can avoid your pets catching them in the first place.<\/p>\n The live tick and flea clinic is part of www.mypetonline.co.uk\u00a0 initiative to highlight The Big Flea Guarantee this summer and as part of this vet practices across the country will be offering free flea and tick checks for our pets.
