While controlling and killing flea and ticks in pets, many pet owners tend to use insecticides as well as other chemicals that may not always turn out to be good for your pets. Therefore, before purchasing any of these pesticides or chemicals, there is little yet important information that is crucial for you to know.

• First and foremost, it is important for you to consult a seasoned veterinarian in terms of the best way to protect your pets from fleas and ticks and if pesticides are even required.
• Use flea and tick control products only on that particular animal specified in the product label i.e. if the product is meant for dogs, it should be used on dogs only and if it is for cats, for cats only.
• Try to follow the label prohibitions against use on medicated, weak, pregnant, sick and nursing pets. Care should be taken also on pets that have shown sensitivity in terms of pesticide products. Again, apply only the amount which is indicated for the size of the animal being treated.
• Avoid applying pesticides to puppies and kittens unless that product label has specifically allowed this treatment. Pay attention in terms of age restriction for puppies as well as kittens on your pet.
• Your pet should be monitored closely for side effects or signs of sensitivity after apply any pesticide or chemicals especially when you use the product on your pet for the first time. Avoid using spot-on treatments on pets that are known to be sensitive to pesticide products.
• In case your pet experiences any adverse reaction, bathe your pet immediately with a mild soap and rinse with a large amount of water.
• Keep the product only in its container especially such as individual applicator tubes. Apart from that, keep the product after treatment in case adverse reaction occurs. You will definitely want to have the instructions at hand and contact the information of the manufacturer.
