It is possible that the environment in which your pet lives include fleas and ticks, both of which have the capability of transmitting diseases to anyone who come into contact with them. In view of the fact that ticks and fleas are also capable of causing sickness in people, it is of the highest significance that you maintain a vigilant eye out for these types of pests. Despite the fact that it is likely that the number of these parasites that live outdoors will be smaller at various periods of the year, it is common for them to continue to remain inside the domestic environment throughout the winter months. Additionally, the Clarence Street Veterinary Clinic offers its clients protection against fleas and ticks via the provision of a wide variety of products that are available for purchase. We are able to give you with guidance about the method of administration that is most appropriate for administering drugs to your dog, regardless of whether you would want to provide them orally or topically.

In the event that you see ticks on your dog, please do not be reluctant to get in contact with us at the Clarence Street Veterinary Clinic in Port Colborne. In the event that you attempt to remove the tick on your own, there is a risk that the portions of the tick that constitute the mouth will remain under the skin. This indicates that even after the tick has been removed from your pet, there is still a possibility that the tick may continue to pose a threat of hurting your pet. There is a possibility that it might take up to twenty-four hours for the ticks that have been treated with the medicine to fall off of your pet after they have been treated with the medication.
