Hi team, may I know what are the best ways to avoid ticks ? Can you suggest tablet for my dog who is 7 months old cocker spaniel ?. I usually spend time to check his entire body for any visible ticks but with his amount of fur , its getting very difficult to remove them. Though I thorougly checked, there could be flea or ticks. I spray natural anti tick sprays before going for walks Can I spray fipronil every two weeks ? I heard it can cause hairfall. So wondering if there is any tablet that I can give him. Kindly suggest

Hi madhu, it is very difficult to monitor tick infestation in heavy hair coat breeds. Have you noticed ticks on his body recently?

My husky (1.5 years) is making a sudden short but deep cough sound like she’s trying to expel something. This happens 1-3 times a day, she’s mostly resting after her walks and everything else is unchanged like her appetite and activity levels. Should I be concerned? Additional context- she was spayed on Oct 30th and has healed completely. I read that general anaesthesia during a surgery can cause some complications

My dogs literally taught me to embrace peace in my life no matter what is going on around me. On bad days I have to clear my mind when I am with them and live in that moment. Their love and trust have completely changed my life for the better. I can never repay what they have done for me
