Ticks issue? Here’s some help

During the change of weather, it is very common if you find ticks on your pooch’s body. Don’t be scared or worried, it’s the same as when children gets lice. So here’s some points that can help you and your pooch.

1) Regular checks for ticks is a must. Most common places are ears, eyebrows, armpits, tail joint and between the paws. 

2) A single tick can lay more than 2000 ticks in its lifetime! Woah😱!

3) If you find one, do NOT throw it away, they can come back just as easily! You can crush them, burn them, put then in mustard oil, or flush them.

4) If there are many ticks, you can ask your vet to apply SpotOn on your pooch. It is totally harm free, and all ticks die and fall off within 1-2 days.

5) Another solution to tick problem is Tick spray, which you can get at any pet store. Read the instruction carefully as some are sprayed on the collar and some directly on the body. 

6)You can also provide Tick bath to your furry babies. If you are planning to give tick bath on your own, use CISAFLUX. 

ATTENTION: CISAFLUX is highly poisonous if ingested. So you have to make sure the medicine is washed off properly. First time parents can get the tick bath done from your vet.

There is no need to worry if you find ticks, just make sure they do not multiply!
