🌧️ Why Fleas and Ticks Love the Rainy Season
Humidity is the biggest reason flea and tick populations spike during rainy months. Moisture in the air helps their eggs hatch faster and allows larvae to survive longer. Even short walks in damp grass or trips to the park can expose your pet to these parasites.
Common signs of infestation:
- Constant scratching or licking
- Red, irritated skin or bald patches
- Visible small black specks (flea dirt)
- Lethargy or loss of appetite (in case of tick-borne diseases)
🐕 Prevention Is Better Than Cure
The good news? With the right preventive care and products, you can stop infestations before they start.
- Use Flea and Tick Preventives Regularly
Topical treatments, oral tablets, or flea collars can provide month-long protection.
💡 Tip: Set a monthly reminder so you never miss a dose.Shop recommendation:

Ticks often hide behind ears, under collars, and between toes. After walks or outdoor playtime, run your hands through your pet’s fur to check for any unwanted guests. - Maintain a Clean Yard
If your pet plays outside, keep the grass trimmed and remove piles of leaves or debris — these are flea and tick hotspots.
