There’s no way to completely stop your dog from getting ticks, but there are a few things you can do to reduce the risk.
Avoid places known for them In the warmer months, avoid long grass.
Check your dog regularly If you regularly check your dog for ticks after walks, you may find them before they have had the chance to attach.
Regular parasite control If you use a regular parasite treatment that covers for ticks, any ticks that attaches to your dog should die, and drop off within 24-48 hours.
Use repellents If you live in a high-risk area, or your dog is prone to picking up ticks, you may want to consider using a tick repellent collar during the summer months, to prevent any from attaching in the first place.
Tick repellents often also provide protection against other parasites such as fleas so it’s best to speak to your vet to find the right treatment for you and your dog.
