If you missed the first 2 posts, you can find them here, and here.
In my past two posts, we went over how prevention of fleas and ticks is key to keeping them away from your pets. It is much easier to prevent, than to treat an infestation.
In order to prevent a flea infestation from happening, it is important to understand them.
This infographic from Ron at Havahart Wireless explains it perfectly!
That concludes my flea prevention serious, thanks for staying tuned with us!

ReplyDeleteOh yes!
DeleteYikes! The letter U means the month is almost over...time flies when a dog is having fun! We despise fleas and ticks, yuck! The ticks love to jump into my low rider self and try to nestle in my warm, comfy furs, but Mom usually catches them racing around before they find a home and my flea and tick stuff helps if she misses them. Nasty creatures!
ReplyDeleteThey certainly are nasty!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
DeleteHate those nasty little critters! I am constantly checking the goldens, working at a groomers I can't believe how many we are already finding on the dogs! Great post!!
ReplyDeleteI know it's horrible!
DeleteI live where ALL the stupid ticks live! It's why I use my flea and tick prevention ALL year long! Happy Friday, Snow Dog crew!
ReplyDeleteOz
See here it's more fleas than ticks! Both are nasty buggers!!!!
DeleteUgh, I'm located in the next to the highest zone for activity. I guess it's that time of year again though, yuk!
ReplyDeleteYes it sure is!!!!
DeleteSo excited about this new bowl. Yay!
ReplyDeleteGood info on the flea and ticks. Our vet has us starting our prevention early because we live in the bush.
Have a great weekend
That's good! And congrats on the bowl!
DeleteWe hate hate hate those nasty critters.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly!!!

ReplyDeleteYes!!!! they really are!!!!

Exactly!!!!
DeleteFleas and ticks are such a pain! The things that they can do are really amazing though. I'm glad that there are ways to prevent getting them because getting rid of them once you have them is very tedious.
ReplyDelete-Purrs from your friends at www.PlayfulKitty.net
Yes thats for sure!
Deletegreat infographic. funny you won carens contest and she won yours.
ReplyDeleteI know! hahahahaha!!!! You should have seen our emails after that! Major address swap!!!
DeleteWe don't want any fleas her!!! We get our monthly treatments and do our best to avoid those places ticks like to live.
ReplyDeleteWoos - Ciara and Lightning
Thats a great idea for sure!!!
DeleteThat's an awesome infographic *sharing*
ReplyDeleteGreat! Thanks for sharing!
DeleteGreat info, but I don't like the fact that our state is one of the worst states for ticks! We've only dealt with fleas once or twice over the last 20 years, but we deal with ticks EVERY year. Ugh, I hate them....it's the one thing I dread about spring.
ReplyDeleteJan, Wag 'n Woof Pets
Oh I know!!! I wish they would all go away!!!!!!!!
DeleteWe've been pretty lucky not to have fleas, even though we live in a high risk area.
ReplyDeleteWe had a battle last year, hoping to avoid it this year!!!
DeleteWe are all about flea & tick prevention in our pack! What a great infographic!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great way to be!
DeleteWhat a great infographic! Thankfully we don't have Lyme disease or Ehrlichiosis here in Australia, but we do have the deadly paralysis tick. Flea and tick prevention is such an important part of keeping our pets happy and healthy.
ReplyDeleteIt is very important!!! I agree!
DeleteGood information.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteGreat infographics. And love your Flashback Friday pic!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteAs much as I look forward to summer, I hate the inevitable tick infestation. I saw the first one two weeks, and have already had to give Buddy a tick treatment. This was a very informative entry! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteUGH! I know!!!!
