Ticks in dogs and puppies

Dogs are jumped by ticks, which cling to the skin and feed themselves with your dog’s blood. This is annoying, but with a bit of bad luck the tick also carries and transmits bacteria and viruses.

This can make your dog, as well as yourself, quite ill. These illments include Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis and Babesiosis. This is why it is so important to prevent and control ticks in your dog.

What are dog ticks?

A tick is a small, blood-sucking parasite that burrows into a dog’s skin. They particularly live in bushes and tall grass, then jump onto the victim when passing by. Because dogs are outside a lot, they are at relatively high risk of tick bites. Therefore, you should properly protect your dog from ticks.

What can you do to prevent or treat tick bites?

To prevent tick bites, you can purchase several products, such as a tick collar, tick drops and tick tablets. You can use most of these preventively.

Tick collar dog

Many dog owners give their dogs a tick collar, which repels and kills nasty bugs such as ticks. A tick collar is a dog collar that contains active substances. Your dog doesn’t notice anything from these substances, but insects absolutely cannot stand them. Thanks to this collar, ticks stay away.

Tick drops dog (pipette)

Most products against fleas also work against ticks. That is why this remedy is the most commonly used. These products come in pipette form, or drops, which you apply to your dog’s skin. In most cases, these products work for 1 month and should be repeated thereafter.

Tick tablet dog

An anti-tick remedy also comes in pill form (e.g. Nexgard). You can give this to your dog as a snack, it also works for a month.
