How To Avoid a Dog Bite
The best thing to do is to slowly back away from the dog without looking into the dog's eyes. Keep an eye on the dog, but don't look directly at him.
..:::How To Pet
Use flea/tick treatments or medications to prevent and kill fleas and ticks on your pet. There are effective treatments that are recommended by veterinarians and applied to your pet in one spot, once a month--or there are various natural remedies if you prefer.
Cut or mow tall brush and grass where your pet plays.
Do daily tick checks on your pet, yourself and the rest of your family.
Use sharp, pointed tweezers to remove any ticks that you find, then apply antiseptic to the affected area.
Vacuum your house and wash your pet’s bedding regularly to remove flea eggs and larvae.
