Part I: Mosquito Protection for Dogs & Cats

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Dogs

Mosquito Concerns in Dogs: general discomfort from bites especially for dogs with allergies, Heartworm (three confirmed cases at Dogwood Pet Hospital), West Nile (one confirmed case in West Linn).

Recommendations:

  • Deet Wipes — lightly wipe ears, nose, and underbelly.
  • Avon Skin So Soft
  • Give a monthly heartworm preventative:  Sentinel (tablet), Heartgard Plus (chewable treat form), and Revolution (topical). We recommend Sentinel since it has the added benefit of flea and certain intestinal parasite prevention.

Cats

Mosquito Concerns in Cats: general discomfort from bites  especially for cats with allergies.  Although hearmworm in cats is extremely low in this area, it does exist.

Recommendations:

  • Deet Wipes — lightly wipe ears, nose, and underbelly.
  • Avon Skin So Soft.
  • Monthly heartworm preventive available:  Revolution (topical).

Part II: Five Tips to Protect Your Pet Naturally from Mosquitoes

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

A soggy spring combined with hot summer temperatures have created a thriving environment for mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are not only bothersome but are capable of transmitting disease in both humans and animals. Protect your pet naturally with the following recommendations:

1. Prevent Heartworm Disease. Heartworms are parasites that can live and breed inside your pet’s heart transmitted by mosquitoes. Adult heartworms can cause heart and lung damage, even death. Learn how to protect your pet from heartworm disease.

2. Keep Pets Indoors. Make sure windows and doors are shut or properly screened.

3. Remove Standing Water Sources. Ideal environments for mosquito larvae.

4. Apply Avon’s Skin So Soft. Apply ears, nose, and underbelly areas.  Conveniently order Avon’s Skin So Soft with our Avon Representative.

5. Circulate Air. Repel mosquitoes with moving air indoors and outdoors. Having an outdoor BBQ or party? Add a fan to repel pesky mosquitoes.
