Ticks, Lice & Fleas 🦟🪳🕷️
As pet groomers, We've seen our fair share of ticks, fleas, and lice on pets - it's not a pretty sight. But fear not, pet parents - there are plenty of ways to be proactive about preventing these pests from hitching a ride on your furry friend.
Let's start with ticks. These little blood-suckers are the ultimate party crashers, and they love nothing more than setting up camp on your pet's skin. The best way to prevent tick infestations is to be vigilant about checking your pet for ticks after they've been outside. Invest in a good tick comb and use it regularly, paying special attention to your pet's head, ears, and feet. You can also use tick prevention products, such as topical treatments and collars, to help keep those pesky parasites at bay.

Next up, we have fleas. These guys are like the ultimate freeloaders, jumping from pet to pet and causing all sorts of havoc. The best way to prevent flea infestations is to keep your pet clean and well-groomed. Regular bathing and brushing can help remove fleas and their eggs before they have a chance to take hold. You can also use flea prevention products, such as topical treatments, collars, and oral medications, to help keep fleas from latching onto your pet in the first place.
