If your Boxer is not already on a flea and tick prevention program, contact your vet and ask about prevention and treatment options. Fleas and ticks are not only a nuisance, but they can also be dangerous. These tiny pests can carry a variety of diseases. If you find a flea or tick on your dog, remove it right away. Combing through your dog’s coat with a fine tooth comb may help you find and remove fleas. Ticks can be trickier, however, as they are often embedded in your dog’s skin. It is very important to make sure the entire tick is removed, especially the head. If you need assistance or are unsure you removed the entire tick, please contact your vet North Phoenix, AZ. Stopping fleas and ticks early is the best way to avoid further outbreak on your dog and in your home.
