my pet magazine
My dog swims all the time;
are there any flea and tick
treatments that will work for
him even though he is always
getting wet?
There are a number of products available that are
water-fast and will work to protect dogs against
fleas and ticks even if they are regular swimmers
or having regular baths. They are available in
a variety of different delivery options including
spot-ons, collars, tablets and chewables.
The most important thing to keep in mind when
using any product is to follow the instructions
exactly as listed. Some spot-on treatments
require the dog to not get wet or be bathed for
a period of time before or after applying the
product. Some collars need to be removed for
swimming or bathing and then may require some
time before they become effective again after
the animal has it off. Even with chewables and
tablets always read and follow the directions.
Each product has different requirements and
if followed the efficacy of the product will not
be decreased if the dog swims or gets bathed.
Always ensure that you are applying the product
correctly and re-dosing at the correct interval for
what you are treating (ie. monthly, fortnightly).
