Regularly inspect your dog for ticks, especially after outdoor activities. Pay close attention to areas like ears, neck, and between toes.
Use vet-recommended tick prevention products such as spot-on treatments, collars, or oral medications to protect your dog from ticks.
Keep your yard well-maintained by mowing the grass, removing leaf litter, and trimming shrubs to reduce tick habitats.
When possible, avoid areas known to be infested with ticks, such as tall grass, wooded areas, and dense vegetation.
After outdoor activities, check yourself for ticks to prevent them from hitching a ride into your home and onto your dog.
Regularly vacuum and clean your home to remove any ticks that may have been brought indoors. Wash your dog's bedding frequently.
Consult your veterinarian for advice on the best tick prevention methods for your dog's specific needs and lifestyle.
