🐛 Why Are Fleas and Ticks So Dangerous?

These tiny parasites can cause serious health issues like:

• Skin irritation, redness, and hair loss
• Tapeworms (transmitted by fleas)
• Lyme disease and ehrlichiosis (from ticks)
• Severe anemia in young or small pets
• Allergic reactions and infection from bites

And worst of all? They spread FAST — especially in warm climates like Mexico.

🛡️ Top Flea and Tick Prevention Methods

Prevention is easier and cheaper than treatment. VetPlayas recommends a combination of the following:

• Monthly topical treatments (e.g., Frontline, Advantage)
• Oral tablets (like NexGard or Simparica)
• Tick collars for outdoor or rural pets
• Regular grooming and inspection, especially after walks
• Home cleaning — vacuum and wash bedding weekly

🌿 Natural Alternatives — Do They Work?

Some pet owners use essential oils or herbal sprays, but natural options are often not strong enough in heavy infestation zones. VetPlayas can help you balance safety with effectiveness, especially for sensitive pets.

📍 Living in Tijuana or Border Areas?

Border cities like Tijuana have year-round flea and tick risks due to warm, humid weather. Even indoor pets are at risk from shoes, clothing, and windows left open. That’s why VetPlayas offers affordable parasite control plans all year long.

📝 Signs Your Pet Might Have Fleas or Ticks

• Excessive scratching or licking
• Red bumps or rashes on skin
• Black “flea dirt” on fur or bedding
• Visible ticks, often near ears, neck, or paws

If you notice any of these, schedule an appointment immediately at vetplayas.com/contact.
