Introduction
Fleas and ticks are tiny parasites that feed on animals’ blood, but their impact can be huge. Fleas jump easily and cause severe itching, while ticks can transmit dangerous diseases. Regular flea & tick treatment is not only about comfort—it’s an essential part of pet care. At PETCARE KIWI SHOP & GROOMING, we care about your pet’s wellbeing. During our special promotion, every Full Grooming or above booking comes with a complimentary flea & tick treatment—helping pets stay safe, healthy, and happy.
Risks of Fleas & Ticks
Flea bites cause scratching, chewing, and hair loss. Pets may develop raw spots and skin infections from constant irritation. Some animals suffer flea allergy dermatitis (FAD), where even one bite triggers rashes and sores. Ticks can transmit illnesses such as Lyme disease or ehrlichiosis, leading to fever, joint pain, or weight loss. Fleas may also carry tapeworm larvae, infecting pets that swallow them. Beyond pets, fleas and ticks can infest carpets, bedding, and even bite humans, making parasite control a necessity for both pets and families.
Benefits of Regular Treatment
Consistent prevention keeps pets healthier and more comfortable, reducing the risk of itching, skin infections, and disease. It also helps maintain a cleaner home, stopping fleas from breeding in furniture or pet bedding. Outdoor pets that hike or play in parks are at higher risk, but regular flea prevention and tick prevention stop parasites from spreading. Prevention is also cost-effective—routine treatments and pet grooming services at PETCARE KIWI SHOP & GROOMING are far cheaper than vet bills from infestations or illness.
How Often Should Pets Be TreatedFrequency depends on the product, your climate, and your pet’s lifestyle.
Monthly: Spot-ons, oral medications, and collars are usually applied every month.
Seasonal: In cooler areas, focus on spring through autumn.
Year-round: In New Zealand’s mild climate, continuous flea prevention is strongly recommended.
After exposure: Always check pets after visits to wooded areas or tall grass.
Follow product instructions and consult your veterinarian for the best schedule.
