Hello there! Let me introduce you to the pet you’ve been waiting for. Apr 15-16

뉴욕주 스테이튼 아일랜드 - 진드기의 계절입니다.

가능한 한 자주 또는 적어도 매일 하루가 끝날 때마다 반려동물의 털을 점검하세요. 사랑하는 가족을 위험으로부터 안전하게 지킬 수 있다면 추가 작업이 아닙니다. 잠깐의 시간만 투자하면 되지만 그만한 가치가 있습니다.

진드기가 있는지 확인할 때는 어디를 살펴봐야 하나요? 아래 그림이 도움이 될 거예요. 외출 후 몸을 잘 문지르면 진드기를 느낄 수 있을 것입니다.

진드기 기피제를 사용하는 것도 도움이 될 수 있습니다. 다음은 반려동물을 위한 몇 가지 옵션입니다.

• Sawyer Products Premium Permethrin Clothing Insect Repellent: Great for backpacking, and other outdoor activities, it’s effective against more than 55 kinds of insects — from disease-spreading ticks (Lyme disease) and mosquitoes (West Nile and Zika viruses) to chiggers, spiders, mites and more.
  
• Best natural tick repellent (for doubling up): 100% natural with lemon and eucalyptus extract.
  
• Bayer Animal Health Seresto Flea and Tick Collar for Large Dogs: Unlike oral flea and tick prevention products that require fleas and ticks to bite your pet to work, Seresto flea and tick collar for large dogs kills fleas and ticks through contact — no biting required. Seresto flea and tick prevention is also available for cats.
  
• Bravecto Chews for Dogs: Bravecto kills fleas and prevents flea infestations for 12 weeks. Bravecto Chew and Bravecto Topical Solution for Dogs kills ticks (black-legged tick, American dog tick, and brown dog tick) for 12 weeks and also kills lone star ticks for eight weeks. Bravecto Topical Solution for Cats kills black-legged ticks for 12 weeks and American dog ticks for eight weeks.
  
• Pet Armor Plus: This flea and tick topical treatment for dogs also controls mites that may cause sarcoptic mange and kills deer ticks that may transmit Lyme disease, while also preventing flea re-infestations for up to four weeks. Fast-acting, waterproof and containing the same active ingredients as Frontline Plus for Dogs, this flea and tick treatment for dogs works quickly and effectively.
