Understanding the Threats: Fleas, Ticks, and Heartworm
Fleas
Fleas are small, jumping insects that survive by feeding on the blood of animals. They can cause severe itching and discomfort, leading to skin irritation and allergic reactions in pets. Fleas are not just a nuisance; they can also transmit diseases such as tapeworms and Bartonella infection (cat scratch fever).
Ticks
Ticks are external parasites that attach themselves to animals and feed on their blood. They can transmit serious diseases to both pets and humans, including Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Ticks are commonly found in wooded areas, tall grasses, and areas frequented by wildlife.
Heartworm
Heartworm is a parasitic worm that resides in the heart, lungs, and blood vessels of infected animals, most commonly dogs and cats. It is transmitted through mosquito bites and can cause severe and potentially fatal damage to the heart and lungs. The incidence of heartworm disease is on the rise in many parts of California, making preventive measures crucial.
