How to Treat and Prevent Tick Bites on Dogs

Tick Spray

Tick sprays are great for immediate and temporary use. Therefore, you would use them whenever walking your pet to a heavily infested area. It is important to follow the directions of the manufacturer or vet to prevent several side effects. Keep in mind that these products usually contain pyrethrin or permethrin, which can sometimes irritate your dogs. Therefore, you should go for options made from natural ingredients. The application is simple as you only need to spray the solution to all body parts. For areas around the ears or eyes, use a cotton ball to apply. [2]
