The revenge "dog" alliance, which appeared at the pet exhibition, vowed to fight the parasites that pets are prone to breed in summer. (Photo/Huang Zhiwen) Veterinary doctor Cai Yijin pointed out that summer is the peak period of parasitic infection in pets, and the number of pets seeking medical treatment has increased by 30%. In summer, pets have three main enemies, namely heart worms, wall slugs and fleas. Especially in recent years, the infection rate of canine heartworm in Taiwan Province Province is as high as 60%. Canine heartworm is a kind of systemic syndrome in which canine heartworm parasitizes the right ventricle and pulmonary artery of dogs, causing serious cardiac blood circulation and pulmonary dysfunction, seriously damaging important organs such as liver and kidney, and finally leading to the death of dogs. We should not be careless.

Moreover, the owner doesn't know the taking time of various anti-insect drugs, which leads to inaccurate parasite control and makes pets infected with parasites.

First of all, remind the owner to pay attention to the cleanliness of his pet, and it is best to keep a thorough body cleaning once a week. In addition, you should do more stroking your pet's hair, and check if there is any abnormality in your skin, including fleas or skin diseases. In addition, the most important thing is to take pest control measures for pets and stay away from parasites.

Dr. Cai Yijin said that pet health is "prevention is better than cure", so regular medication is essential, especially heartworm, which is easy to die. Only regular prevention can put an end to infection crisis. Regular application of insecticide can effectively reduce infectious diseases in dogs, which is the first requirement of pest control. However, many feed owners choose a variety of pesticides, which is easy to confuse the medication schedule. It is suggested to use multi-effect insecticide drops once a month to control internal and external parasites and heartworms at the same time.
