Flea & Tick Prevention

Fleas and ticks can not only cause your pet to be uncomfortable, but they can also transmit dangerous diseases to your pet. These diseases can cause many health complications for your pets, which require immediate care from a veterinarian. Preventative pet care appointments with a veterinarian on our team can help protect your pet. We at Georgetown Animal Hospital in Georgetown, OH, can help with pet checkup appointments and protect your pets against fleas and ticks.

Keeping Your Pets Safe from Fleas & Ticks

To help with flea and tick prevention, a veterinarian on our team can advise on treatment options, including sprays, medications, and shampoos. A vet on our team may also advise on how to protect your pets at home and ensure your home and yard are flea and tick-free.

Signs of Flea and Ticks

Recognizing the signs helps ensure you can get your pet veterinary care. Common symptoms of fleas and ticks include compulsive scratching, biting, or licking their skin, which can cause bald or raw spots. Your pet may also have black flea spots that look like specks of dirt on your pet’s fur. Some pets also have weakness, fatigue, loss of appetite, or pale lips.
