Our warm and humid climate lets these parasitic pests thrive all year long.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, while pet parents don\u2019t have to deal with things like ice and snow, we <em>do <\/em>have to stay on top of flea prevention, tick control, and mosquito prevention all year long.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the team at your local Odessa vet, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caringpawsanimalhospital.com\/\">Caring Paws Animal Hospital<\/a>, will dig into the reasons why spring pet care should <em>always <\/em>include pest prevention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding the Risks in The Sunshine State<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes don\u2019t just cause itching and a general sense of ick. They\u2019re also dangerous and can transmit pathogens that can make cats and dogs alike very, very sick.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mosquitoes spread heartworm disease, a parasitic infection that\u2019s challenging to treat once it begins and can damage your pet\u2019s heart, lungs, and blood vessels. Sadly, heartworm can be fatal to pets\u2014especially dogs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fleas can spread to your entire household, and they also bring tapeworms along with them. These parasitic worms can cause tummy troubles in pets <em>and humans. <\/em>Trust us, you don\u2019t want fleas on your pet or in your home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ticks can cause serious bacterial diseases like Lyme disease and ehrlichiosis, infections that can lead to fever, joint pain, and other uncomfortable and hard-to-treat symptoms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Keep Your Pet Safe from Fleas, Ticks, and Mosquitoes&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the lowdown on how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caringpawsanimalhospital.com\/blog\/flea-and-tick-prevention-for-your-pets-in-odessa-fl\/\">protect your pet<\/a> from mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks, and the nasty diseases they bring with them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flea Prevention<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>All effective flea prevention begins with a veterinarian-approved preventive product. This could be a topical treatment, a medication your pet takes by mouth, or even a special type of collar. These preventives do the same thing: interrupt the life cycle of the flea, reducing the number of adult fleas and keeping eggs and larvae from maturing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regularly grooming and bathing your pet can help, too, as can keeping your living space clean. Wash those dog and cat beds, vacuum your carpet, and set alarms to stay on track with whichever flea preventive you choose.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tick Control&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ticks can latch onto your pet when you\u2019re outside, and then come inside unnoticed. This is especially true if your pup or kitty has thick, fluffy fur that\u2019s easy for a tick to hide in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This prolonged exposure to a latched-on tick can lead to disease transmission, however, so it\u2019s key to check your pet for ticks anytime you enjoy an outing in the woods. Pay close attention to your pet\u2019s ears, neck, and paws\u2014especially between those adorable, pointy toes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with making sure you give your pet a vet-prescribed tick preventive, these tick checks go a long way toward preventing disease.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mosquito Protection<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Here in Florida, mosquito prevention is of utmost importance in preventing the potentially fatal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caringpawsanimalhospital.com\/blog\/heartworm-awareness-month-protecting-your-pet\/\">heartworm disease<\/a>. Year-round heartworm preventives, which are prescribed by your vet, drastically reduce your pet\u2019s risk of getting infected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you accidentally stopped giving your pet heartworm preventives, don\u2019t feel ashamed. Life gets busy, and it happens. However, it\u2019s crucial that you bring your pet in as soon as possible to get tested for heartworms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early detection can mean a better outcome for your furry family member. If no heartworms are detected, your pet can safely begin a preventive once again.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Year-Round Commitment to Parasite Prevention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Parasite prevention pressure doesn\u2019t let up in The Sunshine State as it does for our neighbors up North. But with regular administration of preventive medications, heartworm testing, and routine wellness exams, your pet is far more likely to stay pest-free.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need help getting the preventives your pet needs, reach out to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caringpawsanimalhospital.com\/staff\/\">the experienced team at Caring Paws Animal Hospital.<\/a> Schedule a parasite prevention appointment today at <strong>(813) 723-7297.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Living in Odessa, Florida, means pets face constant exposure to creepy-crawlie-hoppies like fleas, ticks, and heartworms.
