Fleas, Ticks, Parasites & Lice, just aren’t nice
Fleas, Ticks and Parasites: Unwanted and dangerous to your
pup
Fleas and ticks pose a year-round threat. Not only can these pests
cause skin irritations that can make life miserable for your dog, they
may also transmit diseases to both your dog and your family.
Chewing Lice can cause hair loss, blood loss, skin irritation and
infection in your dog. This makes using the right product on your
dog vital. Parasites can cause your pets to become very ill and if left
untreated, can kill your pet. Keep your pet healthy and educate
yourself on what to look for, how to prevent and treat and when to
call the vet.

Other Parasites.
What’s in your dog’s food?
So, what’s the best dog food? This is probably the single most
pressing question on every dog food shopper’s mind. However, it’s
impossible to pin down the answer to just one clear winner. After
reviewing hundreds of dog food brands representing more than 3,300
products, TheDogFoodAdvisor has been able to narrow down the
choices to a few short lists. In most cases, each “Best Dog Foods” list
also includes a brief explanation for how we selected the winners.
Check out the food you are feeding your pets and see where they
stand. You may be very surprised. You can also check out the latest in
Food and Treat recalls. This IS the most up to date place to find out
what's the scoop on what you are feeding your pets.
Heartworm Disease in Dogs and Cats
The above video explains the life cycle of the heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) and the importance of
yearly heartworm testing and monthly preventatives. Keep your pet healthy and educate yourself on
what to look for, how to prevent and treat and when to call the vet.
Heartworm disease is a
serious and potentially
fatal condition caused
by parasitic worms
living in the arteries of
the lungs and
occasionally in the right
side of the heart of
dogs, cats and other
species of mammals
and (in rare instances)
humans. Heartworms
are classified as
nematodes (roundworms) and are filarids, one of many species of roundworms. Dogs and cats of any
age or breed are susceptible to infection. Heartworm disease has been reported in all 50 states.
