You love having your dog in your home, but you don’t like the fleas and ticks they bring. Fleas and ticks are bad news for dogs, especially a new puppy. Some of the flea and tick risks include heartworm, tapeworm, and Lyme disease.<\/p>\n
This is why, as your owner, you need to take preventative measures against fleas and ticks. Fortunately, there is a myriad of methods to prevent fleas and ticks.<\/p>\n
These methods are all effective and pose no harm to your new puppy.<\/p>\n
Here are the 3 best flea and tick prevention for puppies. Destroy those fleas and ticks for good!<\/p>\n
Many pet owners use on-spot treatments as flea and tick prevention for puppies.<\/p>\n
These are drops you apply to your puppy’s skin. These treatments kill adult fleas and ticks, as well as any eggs and larvae.<\/p>\n
These treatments are so powerful, they offer a barrier preventing future infestations. This barrier lasts as long as a month.<\/p>\n
This treatment is safe for puppies at least eight weeks old — any younger should have your vet’s approval. On-spot treatments are also safe for pregnant and nursing dogs.<\/p>\n
Always determine dosages by your puppy’s weight — each product offers instructions. If you give your puppy too high of a dose, it can be toxic.<\/p>\n
Flea and tick collars are one of the most innovative flea and tick prevention for puppies.<\/p>\n
As long as your puppy is wearing this collar, flea and tick infestations will die off. The collar even repeals fleas and ticks, preventing future attacks for the long-term.<\/p>\n
The secret lies within the ingredients: the toxins are embedded in the collar’s material. Since the ingredients have no direct contact with your puppy, the collar won’t harm your puppy.<\/p>\n
This product is similar to the on-spot treatment; the product has direct contact with your dog’s skin, offering immediate and long-lasting protection. But rather than apply the product to a specific area, you spray your dog all over.<\/p>\n
These products are popular because of their safety. Most brands lack harmful chemicals, so you can spray the product on your puppy and all over your home.<\/p>\n
