TICK CONTROL

This is the most common external parasite in Broome dogs.  Ticks come in different shapes and sizes but are in fact all the same species of tick – Brown Dog Tick.  An emerging and serious bacterial disease called Ehrlichiosis is transmitted by the Brown Dog Tick, so tick prevention is essential.

The best tick treatment is a Seresto tick collar.  Other treatments include Nexgard monthly chews, and top spot products such as Advantix.  These products also treat fleas.  Puppies and dogs with lots of ticks may require an injection to control the problem.  We also have a hydrobath at the clinic for shampooing and tick & flea rinses for your dog.
