PROTECTING YOUR PET
LEARN WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO PROTECT YOUR PET AGAINST FLEAS, TICKS AND WORMS.
DOGS
Active dogs are at risk from picking up fleas and ticks
Ticks are a risk in urban parks and gardens too.
Fleas and ticks can transmit tapeworm and Lyme Disease.
Fleas and ticks are not just a problem in spring and summer; warmer, wetter winters mean that ticks are active all year and fleas can readily survive indoors in centrally heated homes.
There are a wide range of treatments options available, including tasty chews that you can give like a treat; ideal for dogs that like to go swimming as they can’t be washed off. Some products last for up to 12 weeks, meaning fewer treatments and less stress.
CATS
Even if your cat is mostly indoor, they can still get fleas even in your garden.
Cats who come into contact with fleas are at risk of developing skin infections from scratching.
Fleas can transmit diseases, including tapeworm, cat scratch fever and feline infectious anaemia.
Fleas and ticks are not just a problem in spring and summer; warmer, wetter winters mean that ticks are active all year and fleas can readily survive indoors in centrally heated homes.
With spot-on products that you can get from your vet, you can easily treat even the fussiest cats. Some products last for up to 12 weeks, meaning fewer treatments and less stress.
Does your cat go outside? If so, they may be hunting. Hunting can put your cat at risk of roundworms.
Fleas, ticks and worms are more than just an inconvenience, they can be a serious health hazard to your pet. Do the best for your pet by providing year-round protection. With reminders from bravopets.ie, and fewer treatments it’s simple to protect your pet from fleas, ticks and worms year-round.
