Protecting Your Dog Against Fleas and Ticks

~ aussiedogcare

At Aussie Dog Care we know the difficulties of removing Fleas and Ticks so hopefully this information will help protect your dogs against Fleas and Ticks!

Flea and Ticks are normally around during warmer summer months however the odd few do seem to reappear from time to time as we know!

Below Text Quoted from http://www.cesarsway.com/

“Ticks survive the winter in microclimates, and after the thaw a feeding and breeding female tick can lay hundreds to thousands of eggs at one time2. Fleas can survive freezing temperatures on wild or feral animals, cocooned as immature pupae, or inside houses and buildings3. With temperatures in the 50s, 60’s, and even 70s, an early spring also means an early season for these bloodsucking parasites.

It’s practically impossible to keep fleas and ticks completely at bay. But there are some steps you can take to try and minimize the opportunities for contact with your pet.

Fleas.Wildlife, including opossums, coyotes, raccoons, and skunks, and even untreated cats and dogs can deposit flea eggs into a yard. It may be possible to reduce flea infestations by limiting the access these animals have around your house and yard. Your local nursery or garden professional may have some advice on what to plant or other strategies to discourage animal trespassers.

Ticks It can be helpful for pet owners to alter the landscape around their homes to make it unsuitable for ticks and their hosts. For example, keep the lawn mowed, remove leaf litter accumulations and prune shrubs and trees.4

Contact a professional pest specialist if you have any questions regarding environmental treatments for ticks.

 

Use a Flea and Tick Control Product

 

Despite your efforts to reduce the fleas and ticks in your yards, our pets may still be exposed to these parasites, so you should take measures to help protect them. Treat all dogs and cats in the household with a flea and tick control product. One untreated pet can lead to a flea infestation in the household.

FRONTLINE® brand products can help protect your dog from unexpected flea and tick sources by killing adult fleas, eggs and larvae, and all stages of ticks. FRONTLINE Plus not only stops existing flea infestations, but also prevents the establishment of new infestations.

Consistency is key. Even one missed dose of your monthly flea and tick control can set the stage for a flea infestation that takes months to resolve, or put your pet at greater risk of exposure to a tick borne disease. So be sure you treat your pet now and continue monthly applications throughout the rest of the year.”

Walking in Mellor

~ aussiedogcare

Aussie Dog Care enjoys lots of walks and countyside strolls in and around Mellor . Here below is some fanstastic information for those outside the area or those who would like to find out about Mellor. We walk regularly in Mellor and enjoy all our dog walks and taking our home boarding clients .

Please feel free to check out our facebook… and even like it for all our adventures: https://www.facebook.com/AussieDogCareUk?ref=h

“One of Greater Manchester’s hidden gems is the beautiful parish of Mellor, nestling in the far south eastern corner of Stockport and Marple. It rises from the valley of the rushing River Goyt through fields and woods to wild moorland, reaching over 1000 feet at the Derbyshire border close to the Peak District National Park. Its rich variety of landscapes is matched by its fascinating history, which has been traced back over thousands of years.

What Mellor has lacked is a publication which brings together a wide range of key information about this fascinating place.

Until now, that is. Because just published is a magnificent Walking Map of Mellor. It combines beautiful and authoritative mapping of the whole area, at a scale ideal for walkers and riders, with a range of photographs and a detailed collection of historical notes on the various points of interest in the district.

The Walking Map of Mellor is the brainchild of David Ackroyd and Peter Hewitt. David has lived in Mellor for many years and is a keen walker and local historian. He published (with a friend Geoff Heath) a book of 12 Mellor walks including a 10½ mile Mellor Boundary Walk. Peter worked years ago with David for Stockport Council, and after he retired in 1999, they began to walk together in the hills and valleys of Mellor. As they did so, they realised the need for a map of the area which would provide all the information walkers need to enrich their expeditions.

They resolved to fill that gap, and the result of their collaboration is the Walking Map of Mellor, already selling rapidly in the immediate area and now available to a wider audience. “

National Trust: Lyme Park Disley

~ aussiedogcare

At Aussie Dog Care we love regular trips to Lyme Park in Disley . If you scroll down below you can see our amazing day trip recently ay Lyme Park Disley , dog walking ! I actually used to live in Lyme Park! You can go on some many walks at Lyme Park in Disley and all the dogs are very tired out after their trip!

“Lyme Park is a large estate located south of Disley, Cheshire. The estate is managed by the National Trust and consists of a mansion house surrounded by formal gardens, in a deer park in the Peak District National Park.[1] The house is the largest in Cheshire,[2] and is designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building.[3]

The estate was granted to Sir Thomas Danyers in 1346 and passed to the Leghs of Lyme by marriage in 1388. It remained in the possession of the Legh family until 1946 when it was given to the National Trust. The house dates from the latter part of the 16th century. Modifications were made to it in the 1720s by Giacomo Leoni, who retained some of the Elizabethan features and added others, particularly the courtyard and the south range. It is difficult to classify Leoni’s work at Lyme, as it contains elements of both Palladian and Baroque styles.[a] Further modifications were made by Lewis Wyatt in the 19th century, especially to the interior. Formal gardens were created and developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The house, gardens and park have been used as locations for filming and they are open to the public. The Lyme Caxton Missal is on display in the Library.” Quoted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_Park
