Important Impormation

As fleas die, they move to the surface of your pet's coat, so don't be discouraged if you notice an increase in fleas after treating your pet. If you continue to notice fleas following treatment, it could be due to your pet getting new fleas from the surroundings, such as other animals, surfaces, and outdoor spaces. Breaking the complete flea life cycle could require as long as 30 days. Furthermore, it is important to address potential sources of new fleas, such as carpets and yards, to achieve comprehensive flea control.

Do Dogs Get Ticks in Winter?

Yes, dogs are still susceptible to getting ticks in the winter, although the chances are typically reduced compared to the summer. Ticks are most active in the spring and summer, but certain types such as the deer tick, known for transmitting Lyme disease, may stay active in the winter if temperatures are above freezing and there is no snow. Ticks can attach themselves to dogs when dogs go into places where ticks are found, like wooded or grassy areas.

To protect your dog from ticks year-round, it's important to:

• Continue using tick preventatives as recommended by your veterinarian.
• Check your dog regularly for ticks, especially after outdoor activities.
• Keep your yard clean and free of tick habitats, such as tall grasses and leaf litter.

By taking these precautions, you can help minimize the risk of your dog getting ticks even during the winter months.

How To Get Rid Of Ticks in Dogs Ears?

Removing ticks from a dog's ears is like removing them from any other part of the dog's body, but there are some key distinctions. Many dogs are not fond of having their ears touched due to their high sensitivity. Sit with your dog and give them treats for touching their ear when they are relaxed and calm in the home. If your dog doesn't willingly stay still, allow your vet to remove the tick. Putting yourself, your dog, or the connection between you at risk is not advisable.

It is essential to remove the entire tick, including both the head and mouth parts. If left alone, they can still transmit disease to your dog and result in a painful skin infection. If you are unsure if the tick has been completely removed, including its head, use a pet-safe marker to mark the area and bring your dog to a veterinarian for examination.

If you have any worries during the process, contact your vet. They might suggest bringing your dog in for tick removal or providing more detailed guidance on how to do it yourself.

If the tick is stuck in the ear canal, do not try to take it out on your own. Your veterinarian should be the one to take it out in that scenario to prevent severe injury to your dog.
