How to Treat and Prevent Tick Bites on Dogs

Probiotics

When your dogs take antibiotics to treat an infection caused by a tick bite, these medications would kill all bacteria, including healthy strains in the gut. This would affect digestion and reduce the metabolic rate. You can improve your pets’ gut health by feeding them probiotics on a daily basis. The simplest way is to give them yogurt, which can be added to their foods, given as a frozen treat, or squeezed into their mouth with a syringe. [5]
