Fleas and ticks in Chihuahuas: safe prevention
Updated on
Antiparasitics for Chihuahua should be chosen from the current weight, age and indication.
How this applies to Chihuahuas
Antiparasitics for Chihuahua should be chosen from the current weight, age and indication. In the Chihuahua puppy, adapting a presentation of another size without orientation can cause error; keep record of the product and the moment it was used.
Understanding Chihuahua care
Control should consider age, weight, health and environment. Products for other ports or species cannot be freely adapted. Finding parasites indicates the need to also evaluate the spaces in which the dog lives.
Everyday care for your Chihuahua
Choose prevention with the veterinarian and check out the label. Inspect the fur and organize environmental hygiene. Do not combine products or share presentations without guidance.
Choosing for species, weight and age
Products have their own indications and limits. Check out label and professional guidance before using, especially on very small puppies. Do not arbitrarily divide a presentation for larger dogs and do not combine several products just to increase protection.
Control in the environment too
Observe beds, cracks and other dogs in the house, following the indicated control plan. Register application dates and possible reactions. Persistent itching or irritation after use must be reported; changing product repeatedly without evaluation may make it difficult to recognize the cause.
Frequently asked questions
Big dog product can be divided at home?
This adaptation may cause dose error and inadequate exposure. Use suitable presentation for the dog.
Can I use two products together for extra safety?
Only with specific advice. Combinations may be unnecessary or inappropriate and must consider active ingredients and the patient.
