Information


	Fleas and ticks are the most common pests affecting dogs, cats, and other pets. Ticks feed on the blood of animals and humans by attaching their barbed mouth to the host and using sticky secretions as well as crab-like legs to hold on. Ticks can transmit illnesses such as Lyme disease to both people and pets. Fleas don't usually transmit diseases, but they can be a severe nuisance to both you and your pets. Their bites cause a lot of itching and scratching, and they can also cause “flea bite dermatitis” because of allergic reactions. A range of treatments are available for controlling fleas and ticks on your pets. Be aware, however, that some products are safer than others.* We recommend flea and tick treatments with active ingredients that are specifically designed to be safe for use on pets. These treatments include imidacloprid (used in Advantage®), fipronil (used in Frontline® and Top Spot®), and selamectin (used in Revolution™).

* The ingredients to avoid are organophosphate insecticides (OPs) and carbamates, which are found in some flea and tick treatments. A treatment contains an OP if the ingredient list contains chlorpyrifos, dichlorvos, phosmet, naled, tetrachlorvinphos, diazinon, or malathion. If the ingredient list includes carbaryl or propoxur, the treatment contains a carbamate. For more information, you can refer to a report prepared by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) titled Poisons on Pets: Health Hazards from Flea and Tick Products.
