Flea Prevention Tips for the Texas Summer

At PAWsitively Sweet Bakery, we take flea and tick prevention very seriously. Especially since we have an extended amount of hot days in Texas.

Fleas are very harmful to our pets and can cause flea allergy dermatitis (FAD), cat scratch disease, and anemia. Ticks can spread dangerous and possibly fatal Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, and Babesiosis.

Most commercial flea/tick preventatives you find at big box retailers contain lots of chemical. They work by penetrating your pets bloodstream that will kill the fleas/ticks upon ingestion of their bloodstream.

We have done our homework to find all-natural and limited ingredient solutions for our FURiends and yours. These include several options we have in-store. Stop by and we will be happy to discuss options that are safe for your pet.

• Flea/Tick Sprays made with natural ingredients

• Flea/Tick yard sprays that are pet safe

• Hot Spot Gel

• Dog Soap that helps repel fleas

• Probiotic Deodorizer Sprays

• Paw Balm

Our friends at Coco Therapy have created a tip sheet to help prevent the spread of fleas and ticks. Wishing a safe and happy summer with all your FURiends 🐾
