Spring: The “blooming time” for parasites
Spring is coming, leaves and buds are sprouting, and the warm rays of sunshine invite our furry friends to take long walks in the woods and meadows. With the blooming vegetation and the mild temperatures, annoying pests are also awakening from their hibernation: ravenous and eager for new "hosts." Fleas, ticks, mites, and worms are causing dogs a lot of trouble, as they feed at the expense of our four-legged friends' health.
Ticks love mild, spring-like temperatures. This is precisely why ticks are "active" from spring through fall, repeatedly posing a threat to dogs and their owners. Once attached, a tick takes a few days before detaching. Dog skin can react with itching and swelling. This can even lead to scarring or hair loss.
They often severely weaken the defenses of the defenseless host animal, making it easy for viruses and bacteria to invade. Severe itching, widespread hair loss, intestinal or coat problems are common consequences that can be traced back to parasite infestation and a weakened immune system. Our furry friends also often suffer from nutritional deficiencies caused by the parasites' deprivation of nutrients. Fleas and ticks also infest us. They often migrate from animals to humans, making life difficult for us, as some dog parasites are also infectious to humans. Furthermore, fleas, for example, are not picky about where they sleep and feel just as comfortable on dog cushions as on our TV couches.
