Meet ticks and fleas, the freeloaders of fur! These ectoparasites thrive outside, snuggling into your pet’s fur for a blood buffet. But beware, they’re not just itchy uninvited guests; they can also carry diseases, cause infections, or trigger allergic reactions.

Signs of flea or tick infestations include:

  • Excessive biting, licking, or scratching
  • Red irritated skin
  • Visible fleas or ticks on fur
  • Hair loss
  • Tiny dark specks on your pet’s skin or in their bedding (flea feces)
  • Restlessness or agitation
  • Pale gums or lethargy

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to consult with us at Banded Peak for proper diagnosis and an effective treatment plan. Regular preventive measures are also essential to protect your pet from future infestations.
