How can dogs effectively prevent ticks？

Regular external deworming: this is the most direct method, generally once a month. Commonly used medications include seramectin, which prevents fleas, lice, ticks, etc., in dogs.

Avoid places with ticks: Usually avoid taking your dog to play in deep grass and bushes, because ticks are generally present in these places, and it is easy to run to your dog, and do not contact with animals infected with ticks.

Keep the environment clean: Keep your dog’s living environment clean and tidy, and regularly and thoroughly disinfect your dog’s surroundings and objects. Keeping your home clean will also help to eliminate ticks in your home.

Check your dog’s body: Always check for ticks under your dog’s hair after you walk your dog back.

Proper use of deworming drugs: do not bathe your dog for 3 days before and after deworming, so as not to affect the effect of the drug. Proper use of deworming drugs can more effectively prevent dogs from contracting parasites. For deworming, dogs can be given topical deworming drugs containing imidacloprid, permethrin, or non-prednisolone. As a neonicotinoid insecticide, imidacloprid can cause ectoparasites to overexcite and eventually die, and permethrin can repel ectoparasites from attaching to dogs and sucking blood from dogs.

Timely medical treatment: When the number of dogs infected with ticks is large, it is recommended to be sent to the pet hospital in time for doctors to help deal with it.
