How can I protect my dog from parasites in a warm, humid climate?

Answer
In warm, humid climates, parasite prevention is paramount. Regular, broad-spectrum parasite control, typically a monthly oral or topical product, is essential to protect against fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal worms. Ticks can carry diseases like Lyme disease or Ehrlichiosis, so daily checks after outdoor activity are important. Consider investing in a tick collar or repellent sprays. Mosquitoes, which transmit heartworm, are also prevalent, making year-round heartworm medication crucial. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance on specific products suitable for your area and pet.
