Fleas, Lice and Other Dog Parasites

Dogs deserve to be parasite free. Parasites on dogs cause itching and irritation, at the very least. They cause allergies in some dogs. And they can make your dog extremely uncomfortable.

And then, of course, there's the prospect that the parasites may spread to your house, your carpet, even your own person. Yuck!

You can prevent your dog from catching different types of serious illnesses, disease, and dog parasites by taking basic, preventive measures. It is very important that he gets his regular vaccinations early on to lessen his vulnerabilities to diseases. You also need to keep a close eye on him, both physically, as well as his actions and behavior.

Check your dog for signs and symptoms of dog parasites every time you groom him. Common dog parasites that live on your dog's skin are fleas, lice, and ticks. Dog parasites such as fleas can be checked by running a fine-toothed comb over your dog's coat.

It is easier to spot lice eggs (nits) by looking for white, tiny dust like particles on your dog's coat. Ticks are a type of dog parasite that are relatively easy to see because they attach themselves to the dog's hair and sink their mouths into the dog's skin to suck his blood. They eventually fall off and look for another victim, although some stay on your dog and cause severe illness and irritation.
