Flea:
Dogs and other warm-blooded animals are particularly susceptible to fleas in warmer climates or during summer months when temperatures and humidity rise. Dogs can acquire fleas from other pets or from their surroundings. Fleas utilize their powerful back legs to jump onto their “host” (your dog) and then bite, which can lead to itching, hair loss, and even hot spots from scratching, along with inflamed lesions and skin infections. You might also find small dirt-like specks on your pet, which are flea droppings made from digested blood.
The female flea can survive for several weeks on your dog and lay between 20 to 30 eggs daily during that time. Some of these eggs will hatch into larvae on your pet, while others will drop off into your home environment, where they feed on skin flakes and other organic materials. Pet owners must treat their dogs as well as the indoor and outdoor areas of their homes. We suggest using Richard’s Organics® Flea & Tick Shampoo & Spray alongside our Richard’s Organics Flea & Tick Home & Bedding Spray.
Ticks:
Ticks are parasitic arachnids that latch onto warm hosts, such as your dog. They typically inhabit wooded areas, tall grass, and shrubs. Dogs that spend time outdoors are at a higher risk of encountering ticks. Once a tick attaches, it can embed its mouth into a fold or crevice on your dog and begin feeding on blood, sometimes for several days. Beyond being unpleasant, ticks pose significant health risks for both animals and humans due to their potential to transmit diseases such as Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and Babesiosis. A tick bite may also cause anemia, joint swelling, fever, and paralysis. If you notice any symptoms of illness in your pet and suspect a tick bite, consult your veterinarian promptly. Always check your pet for ticks after outdoor activities, especially in wooded areas.
