Latest Advancements in Protecting Pets from Fleas and Ticks

Protecting your pets from fleas and ticks has never been simpler and more efficient thanks to recent technology developments. By consulting with your trusted veterinarian, there are now more options to keep your pet safe and healthy. 

Oral Drugs 

New oral drugs that are based on isoxazoline, can promptly and effectively eliminate fleas and ticks while offering protection for up to three months with a single dose.

Topical Therapies

There are modern topical therapies now in stock to target various stages of the flea and tick cycle. With a combination of active components like imidacloprid and flumethrin, topical therapies can effectively eradicate some pests. These formulas are not only long-lasting and highly effective, they are also resistant to water, whether your pet is bathing or swimming. For pet owners, the new topical therapies are convenient, odourless, and waterproof. 

New Vaccines 

New vaccinations are in the development process to assist pets in fighting against diseases that are carried by ticks. There are also greener options for chemical treatments that are used as biological controls, such as nematodes and fungi that feed on flea larvae.

Wearable Technology and Smart Collars

Wearable technology and smart collars can track a pet’s exposure to ticks and fleas. Pet owners are promptly notified of any possible infestations. These collars offer personalized, preventive advice based on activity and environmental data. 

Greater Awareness Against Flea and Ticks

The new developments in tick and flea prevention can provide more convenient, long-lasting, and effective solutions. Pet owners are better equipped to make decisions when there is a greater awareness and access to information. However, before trying any flea or tick solution, be sure to talk to your veterinarian about what options are the best for your pet.
