Fleas and Ticks The importance of prevention

Fleas:

- External parasites that are fed on the blood of mammals and birds.
In addition to the discomfort of bites, some dogs/cats are allergic to flea saliva, developing pruritic dermatitis

Ticks:

- External parasites that have the dog as preferential host.

- In addition to skin changes, at the point of penetration of the tick, they are responsible for the transmission of serious diseases to both animals and humans.
