All About Pets • Volume 3 • Issue 3 • May–Aug 2023 12 I keep my pet indoors mostly. Do I still need to take any measures to prevent my pet from being infested by ticks and fleas? Tick and flea eggs and larvae are extremely small. Rodents, other infested animals, and birds carry the juvenile ticks and fleas on their backs and transport them into homes. They can cling onto your clothes and shoes from contaminated outdoor places. So, there are possibilities of the pet getting infested by ticks and fleas despite staying indoors. Hence, keeping a parasite control product handy is recommended. How do I protect my pet from fleas and ticks? Keeping the home and surroundings clean and inspecting the pet regularly for ticks and fleas are important. Additionally, I recommend using Erina-EP Shampoo and Erina-EP Powder, from Himalaya Wellness Company, for both dog and cats. These products are natural and safe for the prevention and control of tick and flea infestation.
