External Parasites & Your Pets

Protecting cats & dogs from fleas, ticks and the diseases they carry

External parasites live on the outside of the body and feed on the nutrients their hosts provide. While some cause only minor skin problems, others carry and spread infections — and internal parasites — that can lead to serious, even life-threatening illness.

Fleas and ticks, for example, can leave itchy, inflamed skin from their bites. Lyme disease, spread by ticks, can result in kidney failure and other serious health problems. And although external parasites are most common outdoors, they readily infiltrate your home and affect predominantly-indoor pets — entering through open doors and windows, or hitching a ride home from your dog’s daily walk. Once inside, they can infest other pets, and even affect you and your family.

Why It Matters

It's for these reasons that The Best Dog Products developed a range of reliable, effective treatment and prevention products for killing fleas and ticks in dogs and cats — all available to purchase online.

Signs & Symptoms of Infestation

Fleas and ticks are the most common external parasites found on dogs and cats, and they can cause serious sickness. Watch for any of the following signs:

🍽️Appetite loss lasting more than a day
💩Constipation, loose stools or blood in stool / urine
🤮Vomiting
🌡️Fever — dry hot nose, dull eyes, raised temperature
😮‍💨Intense panting or difficulty breathing
🤧Sneezing and coughing
🐕Constant head-shaking
🐾Constant scratching or biting at the body
⚠️Unusual or aggressive behaviour in a calm pet
🔴A lump under the skin
🧥A dull, drab coat
🛷Scooting across the floor

An infestation can be both prevented and combated by treating your pets regularly. If you have dogs or cats at home, always use pet-friendly products to ensure their safety and well-being. The Best Dog Products capsules also help protect your dog from the disease, illness and irritation that fleas and ticks cause.
