Health Threats of Fleas & Ticks 

Fleas and ticks can pose health risks to people and pets. Fleas generally don’t cause serious health risks for people, but their bites can cause itchy, painful welts. In pets, fleas can spread diseases such as tapeworm, canine bartonellosis, anemia, and contact dermatitis. You may notice fleas when pets are excessively scratching and licking. 

 The diseases spread by different types of ticks include: 

• American dog ticks – Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Tularemia, and tick paralysis 
• Deer ticks – Lyme disease 
• Brown ticks – Ehrlichiosis 
• Lone star ticks – Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever 
• Gulf coast ticks – Rickettsiosis, Canine Hepatozoonosis, Leptospirosis, tick paralysis

Due to the health risks associated with these pests, it is important to take steps to prevent infestations and identify flea or tick problems as soon as possible. You can speak to your veterinarian about preventative measures for use on your pets and call for flea and tick control service when you notice a problem.
