Protecting Your Pooch From The Risk Of Lyme Disease This Spring And Summer

This past winter was undoubtedly one of the most mild in recent memory

, which didn't do pet owners any favors. Since the winter frost never came to lessen the flea and tick populations, this season looks to have record numbers of these parasites. Ticks are especially prevalent this year, so to ensure that your pooch doesn't fall victim to Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses, it's vital that you know how to remove these bugs when spotted and the many quality Hartz products can be used to keep them at bay.

According to AuburnPub.com, ticks are known to inhabit long grasses and other bits of shrubbery that grow to about 18 to 24 inches high. This gives them the ability to latch onto a host which happens to be walking by. It's extremely important to give your canine a few visual checks when coming back in from the outdoors, particularly looking around his stomach, neck and legs. If you do happen to spot a tick, it's best to have a set of tweezers handy. Since the tick's head may be impacted in your dog's skin, grab the bug by the head and then lift gently upward. This will ensure that none is left behind, which can cause a risk to your furry friend.

Of course, there is also a wide selection of flea and tick products available that can give you peace of mind throughout the coming seasons. Hartz UltraGuard Pro Flea and Tick Treatment for Dogs and Puppies are wonderful options that can protect your companion from fleas, ticks and mosquitoes during any stage of their life cycle and keep them from coming back for up to 30 days. These topical drops are placed at the skin level between a dog's shoulder blades using Hartz's Pro-Glide applicator, and then down the length of his back to the tail. This monthly treatment will keep your dog safe from a wide variety of outdoor risks throughout the height of flea and tick season.
