Effective Tricks for Deworming and Flea Control in Dogs!
Share
One of the favorite moments for our furry friends is going outside for a walk and playtime. When pet parents see their dogs happily running around, it feels like the happiest and sweetest moment! However, there are many mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas outdoors, which can easily cling to your dog's paws or body. Once these parasites are on your dog, they can quickly spread throughout the house, and that can be quite a hassle!
How to Tell if Your Dog Has Parasites
First, how can you know if your dog has parasites? For light-colored dogs, you can check visually. If you see small black dots on your dog that don’t look like dirt, or if you're unsure, just add a bit of water. If it turns red, that’s a sign, as these parasites feed on your dog's blood, and those little black dots are actually their droppings! For dark-colored dogs, use a flea comb, which is a very fine and dense comb that can help remove those little black dots. Sometimes, it may also catch ticks or fleas!
What to Do If Your Dog Has Fleas or Ticks
Once you discover fleas or ticks, what should you do? It's simple—deworming and flea control! Besides oral deworming medications, what about external treatments? Let me tell you about a natural plant that can help with this: Neem Oil (Azadirachta Indica)!
Neem Tree
The Neem tree is often referred to as the "miracle tree." In the 20th century, a German botanist encountered a locust plague while conducting biological research in India. At that time, an entire field of crops was devoured by locusts, but one tree remained unharmed—the Neem tree. It contains a compound called Azadirachtin, which has potent antimicrobial properties and insecticidal effects.
Due to its unique "neem" components, it can be used to repel fleas and ticks. Some natural pet shampoos or sprays use it as an ingredient. Scientific studies have confirmed that it is non-toxic to mammals and effectively kills fungi, bacteria, and mold, while also preventing parasites and providing antibacterial action. Many pet professionals abroad commonly use Neem Oil as a natural remedy for flea and tick control, and it poses no pollution to humans, animals, or the environment. Neem oil can completely prevent mosquito bites for up to 12 hours when applied to human skin, while also providing moisturizing benefits. It can even treat mange, ulcers, and itching in dogs, making it a great potential solution for natural pest control.
Benefits of Neem for Dogs
- Using shampoos containing Azadirachtin can prevent your dog from being bitten by fleas, ticks, mites, and other annoying insects.
- Azadirachtin can soothe your dog's allergic skin, alleviating pain and itching.
- Azadirachtin improves external skin issues such as hair loss and dryness, promoting a shiny coat.
While you’re considering chemical ingredients for flea and tick control, think about using natural, burden-free plant ingredients to protect your furry friend. With just a simple bath, you can clean their coat while also preventing mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Don't forget to share this amazing trick with your friends!
