Pet Tick Prevention Programs Phoenix, AZ

Why Pet Tick Prevention Programs Matters
In Phoenix, Brown Dog Ticks are a common concern for dogs, as they can transmit canine ehrlichiosis, a serious tick-borne infection that affects your dog’s blood cells. Symptoms can range from fever and lethargy to more severe health issues if left untreated. At Westridge Animal Hospital, we recommend year-round tick prevention to protect your dog from this dangerous condition. Cats are at risk from ticks as well, and even if your feline companion stays indoors, regular preventatives are key to their safety in case they’re ever targeted by these pests.
Tailored Tick Control Programs
At Westridge Animal Hospital, we design our tick control programs by taking into account:
- Your Pet’s Environment: Whether your pet spends time outdoors, hikes frequently, or mostly stays indoors, we create a prevention plan based on their specific surroundings.
- Health History: Pets with certain conditions or sensitivities may require special tick control methods.
- Type of Tick Control: We offer a variety of options, including topical treatments, oral medications, and tick collars, depending on what’s best for your pet’s needs and preferences.
Prevention and Early Detection
Westridge Animal Hospital educates pet owners on early detection and how to check for ticks at home. We recommend inspecting your pet regularly, especially after outdoor activities. We’ll also teach you how to safely remove ticks if you find one on your pet.
We encourage routine veterinary visits, during which we can screen for tick-borne illnesses. Early detection of diseases like ehrlichiosis increases the chances of effective treatment.
