Protecting your dog from ticks, especially when walking in areas with tall grass or dense foliage, is crucial. Ticks can transmit various diseases. The best approach involves a combination of preventative measures: using veterinarian-prescribed tick control products (chews, topical treatments, collars), performing thorough daily tick checks on your dog, especially after walks, and avoiding heavily infested areas when possible. Consider dressing yourself in long sleeves and pants as well. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance on suitable tick prevention for your pet and region.
