Fleas and ticks affect all types of dogs no matter their breed or their age. If your Toy Poodle is not on a current flea and tick preventative program then contact your vet and ask about available flea and tick products. Most vets will require an in office exam before prescribing new patients flea and tick products so be prepared for an office visit. 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. Call your best veterinarians Plano, TX for more details.
