Fleas and Ticks

Fleas and ticks are the most common parasitic skin diseases found in dogs.
Intense itching, hair loss, and crusting of the skin around the dog's ears, front legs, chest, and abdomen are signs of an infestation.

Upon close examination of a dog's infected skin, fleas or ticks can usually be found. To prevent and treat fleas and ticks, there are several options to consider.
Your veterinarian can prescribe spot-on applications, flea/tick collars, or medicated treats.

A sample of brands and types of products for flea and tick control to choose from are Advantix®, Frontline®, Heartgard®, Program®, and Revolution®.

The generic names for flea and tick medications include amitraz, fipronil, ivermectin, lufenuron, nitenpyram, permethrin, and selamectin.
