Why Vets Urge Pet Owners to Protect Their Pets from Fleas and Worms

Fleas are parasites and feed off of a pet's blood by biting them; unfortunately as well as taking the blood without asking, they can pass on a range of diseases which are harmful for both the pet and humans. Myxomatosis in rabbits and tapeworms in cats and dogs are to name but a few, if an animal has an allergic reaction then their health can be seriously compromised. How Fleas and Worms Are Contracted Prevention treatment is vital for both fleas and worms as they are so rife in a pet's everyday environment. Simply suckling milk from its mother can pass on worms to a new born animal and brushing past a flea infected dog can allow them to jump ship to a different host and go onto multiply. Washing hands is as vital after contact alongside the use of prevention treatment that can be acquired from any vets in Surrey to stop a chain of infection.

Dogs Must Be Microchipped by 6th April 2016: Vets in Croydon Are Ready

In England from 6th April 2016, all dogs over eight weeks old must be microchipped, unless a vet certifies that there is a medical exemption. The new law is intended to encourage responsible dog ownership and increase the numbers of lost dogs who are returned to their owners. Microchipping is highly recommended for all pets, and your local vets in Croydon can help and advice. Stray dogs in England can cause serious problems. When the new law was announced in 2013, the BBC reported that over 100,000 dogs are abandoned or lost every year, and less than half are eventually returned to their owners. This is not too surprising considering that less than 10% of these stray dogs are microchipped. The majority are either rehomed or remain in rescue centers, with a small number being put to sleep. The financial cost, an estimated £57m per year, is borne by animal welfare charities and the taxpayer.

Another common misconception is the idea that microchips are painful, expensive, or need to be replaced regularly. If you ask vets in Croydon, however, such issues are actually more myth than truth. Pet Microchipping: Never Lose Your Pal In fact, microchips average 20 pounds or less in cost; this is a one-time fee, as biodegradable microchips will last for your pet’s entire life.
