Flea and tick infestations can be uncomfortable and harmful to dogs. Signs of flea infestations include excessive scratching, red and irritated skin, hair loss, flea dirt (small black specks) on the skin, and even visible fleas on the dog's fur. Ticks, on the other hand, are visible to the naked eye and are often found attached to the dog's skin, especially around the ears, neck, and paws. Other signs of tick infestations include fever, lethargy, and in severe cases, paralysis. Regularly checking your dog for fleas and ticks, especially after walks in wooded areas, and using preventive treatments can help keep your dog safe.
