It's Flea and TICK Season! North Georgia Mountains

There ain't no BUGS on ME!

With the pretty spring weather in these beautiful North Georgia Mountains- brings all those "bugs"- and the WORST are ticks and fleas (on You or ME!)

Ticks carry Lyme Disease to you humans- so be sure to check your dog or cat DAILY for "critters"- especially if they lounge and sleep in the bed or in the couch with you (like I do!)

(Lyme Disease is VERY bad- and causes a serious muscular disease- similar to M.S.)

My Mom got me some very effective "Zodiac" brand Flea and Tick Shampoo. She was very careful around my eyes and was very sure to only leave it on for 3-4 minutes, because it's strong medicine that soaks right into the skin. (Plus, I had the irresistible urge to lick at it on my muzzle).

After I was all dried and combed- she applied the monthly "Cutter's Flea and Tick" treatment. A few dabs between my eyes, ears and under my chin- then a long stroke down my back!

Another good product for Tick and Ear Mites- is Sargeant's "Vetscription". It's water based and it smells like baby powder! Yum!

It sure feels good to have no bugs on me!

And Mom appreciates it, too.

So take your furry friends and head out to PetSmart - or any other "Pet Friendly" shopping spot for animals.

You will be glad you did! So will Your HUMANS!!!

Enjoy the Spring Weather !

P.S. The weather is getting warmer- and if your pet likes to takes rides in the car (like I LOVE to do) PLEASE don't leave them in the vehicle too long, park in the shade and remember to crack the windows!

It gets so hot so quickly in cars and trucks- plus we have fur coats!

The heat can "bake" our little brains very quickly.

So please- take care of your special passengers! They are depending on YOU!
