Prevention:
There are various types of monthly heartworm preventatives, including those that are in the form of a pill, liquid applied topically, or injection. Annual health exams are also imperative for early signs of the disease to be identified by a veterinarian.
4.Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is spread by ticks and results in symptoms such as joint pains, tiredness, fever, and kidney failure. It is mostly prevalent where the ticks are more numerous.
Prevention:
Apply tick repellent such as collars, topical solutions, or chewing tablets. Another prevention step is removing ticks; check the dog frequently for them, especially if the animal was walked in a woodland area. Other vaccines are available for Lyme disease too.
5.Kennel Cough
The Kennel cough is an extremely infectious respiratory disease that is easily transmitted from dog to dog. Some of these signs are coughing, which is often dry and hacking, sneezing, and nasal discharge.
Prevention:
Get your dog vaccinated if he spends most of his time with other dogs in areas like dog parks, boarding kennels, or grooming establishments. Do not let your dog come into contact with sick animals.
