Dr. Rachelle Al Ghazal, a Veterinary Surgeon at Blue Oasis Veterinary Clinic, shares crucial advice on how to protect your pets from the hidden dangers summer brings. In Dubai’s scorching heat, it’s not just the temperatures that can harm your pets but also the increased activity of parasites.
Common Summer Parasites in Dubai
During the summer, three types of parasites pose significant threats to your pets:
- Fleas: These tiny, jumping nuisances can cause severe itching, allergic reactions, and even tapeworm infestations.
- Ticks: Blood-sucking ticks can transmit serious diseases such as Lyme disease and anaplasmosis.
- Mosquitoes: These small pests can spread heartworm, a life-threatening condition for pets.
How to Protect Your Pets
Here are three essential steps to keep your pets safe from these summer parasites:
- Use Preventative Medications Ensure your pets receive vet-recommended oral medications to prevent flea, tick, and mosquito infestations.
- Regular Grooming and Checks Regularly groom your pets and inspect them for any signs of parasites. Pay special attention to areas like behind the ears, under the legs, and around the tail.
- Regular Vet Visits Schedule frequent visits to your veterinarian. Regular check-ups can help catch any issues early and allow you to get professional advice on keeping your pets parasite-free.
