#tick collar

[lunar-goodness]

Betelgeuse somehow got his flea/tick collar off and has lost it somewhere in the house and I don’t where it could possibly be. I’ve looked all over. The only area that I think it must be at is the space underneath the tub, there’s a hole in the wall behind the washer and dryer that has the bathroom on the other side of it so the cats are able to get back there out of reach. It’s an expensive damn collar and it was new, I just got them in March. So now I’m gonna have to get him another new one. Damn cat!

When considering flea and tick prevention for your month old puppy, your first step should be a visit to your veterinarian to discuss options that are right for your situation because many treatments are unsafe for animals 8 weeks and younger. As soon as your puppy old enough, place them on a veterinarian-recommended topical or oral flea and tick product, and never take them off.

There are several highly effective treatments that your puppy can be placed on and left on for the rest of her life, so she doesn’t have to suffer. Flea and tick collars, spot-on, and other insecticide-based treatments generally fall into two categories: topical and systemic.

Topical treatments, like [some] spot-on and collars, stay on the surface and distribute over the body, and then work when fleas or ticks contact or feed upon the surface.

Systemic treatments, which can be applied topically or taken orally, are absorbed into the dog’s bloodstream. When a flea or tick feeds, it takes in the chemical.
