Spring has barely arrived - and they're already active again: ticks. The common tick, the brown dog tick, and the meadow tick lurk in the undergrowth and grass, waiting for their fluffy victims.
Ticks pose a real threat to you and your four-legged friend, as every tick bite can transmit the dangerous pathogens that cause ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, leishmaniasis, TBE, Lyme disease, or babesiosis. Preventive tick control, a watchful eye, and emergency assistance will help your four-legged friend safely through the long tick season.
Tick protection with the ultrasonic tick protection band from emmi-pet
Every dog owner knows the problem of these unpopular bloodsuckers. Sniffing in the grass, undergrowth, meadows, and bushes is difficult to avoid; after all, all these places are the natural territory of our beloved four-legged friends.
Prevention and aftercare during tick season are therefore essential for tick protection . Especially during the months of March to October, preventative tick protection and checking your dog after every walk are essential.
Our emmi®-pet Ultrasonic Tick Repellent Collar, combined with emmi®-skin Tick and Mosquito Repellent, provides natural protection without chemicals. Effectively and safely protect your pet from more than just bloodsucking parasites like ticks.
Our ultrasonic tick protection collar works even better when combined with our emmi®-skin tick and mosquito repellent. The neck-mounted tick collar with ultrasonic technology and the accompanying repellent provide natural prophylaxis and parasite protection. This practical set combines all the essential components you need to protect your four-legged friend from ticks.
The ultrasonic tick repellent collar effectively and efficiently protects your pet against all types of parasites. Mosquitoes and mites are also disturbed by the ultrasonic pulses emitted in the 40 kilohertz range. Free of chemicals, odors, toxins, and other harmful substances, ultrasonic pulses are considered safe and harmless to both animals and humans.
Tip: For aftercare, you should still brush the coat thoroughly after each walk or rub it with a damp cloth.
Ticks prefer to feed on the head, ears, abdomen, groin, and between the toes. If you find a tick attached, remove it immediately. Special tools such as tick tweezers or tick hooks allow for professional and painless removal within seconds.
The tick bite: Help in an emergency
Once the tick has infested your four-legged friend and found a suitable patch of skin, it bites down and begins to suck. During this process, the tick secretes a secretion containing various substances. This can transmit various pathogens living in the tick's body to your dog or cat. Parasites such as bacteria and viruses use the tick as an intermediate host.
During their feeding process, ticks transmit potential pathogens to the dog. These can trigger severe inflammation in your pet's body and lead to long-term illnesses.
While the adult male tick's feeding process lasts only a few days, female ticks can maintain this feeding process for several weeks. The actual danger from a tick bite arises as early as three hours after the start of the feeding process. The risk of infection increases with each additional hour.
Factual knowledge: Remove the tick immediately after seeing it!
For effective wound care of existing puncture sites, we recommend using our Vetericyn® VF +Plus Hydro-Gel. Lightly moisten your emmi®-pet Care ultrasound attachment with water and attach it to the handset. Apply the hydro-gel to the puncture site and gently work it in using ultrasound.
