Fleas:

Dogs and other warm-blooded animals are particularly susceptible to flea infestations in warm climates or during summer months when air temperatures and humidity levels are high. Dogs can catch fleas from their furry friends or the surrounding environment. Fleas use their strong hind legs to jump onto the "host" (your dog) and then bite the animal. These bites can cause itching, hair loss, red spots from scratching, skin infections, and even disease. You may also notice small dirt-like particles on your pet - these are flea droppings and digested blood.

Female fleas can live for several weeks on your pet and may lay between 20-30 eggs daily during that period. Some eggs will hatch into larvae on your pet, while others fall into your home environment - where they feed on skin flakes and other organic matter. Pet owners should treat both the dog and the indoor and outdoor home environment. We recommend using Richard's Organic Flea and Tick Shampoo and Spray in conjunction with Richard's Organic Flea and Tick Home and Bedding Spray.

Ticks:

Ticks are parasitic arthropods that attach and live on warm hosts, such as your dog. Ticks are commonly found in wooded areas, tall grass, and vegetation. Dogs that spend a lot of time outdoors are at risk of encountering ticks at any time. When this happens, ticks can attach and lock their mouthparts into a crevice or fold and begin feeding on blood - sometimes for several days. Besides being annoying, ticks pose significant concern to animals and humans alike due to the high risk of transmitting diseases such as Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, or babesiosis. Tick bites can also cause anemia, joint swelling, fever, and paralysis. If your pet shows any signs of illness and you suspect a tick bite, consult your veterinarian immediately. Always check your pet for ticks if they have been outdoors, especially in wooded areas.
