March 15th, 2010

Did you know that a black light test will confirm whether or not your dog or cat has ringworm? It’s true. By holding a black light over your cat or dog you will know if they have ringworm by whether or not their skin glows under the light. The fungus that produces a ringworm infection is black light sensitive and begin to glow under the light.

This is actually the same method that most vets use to detect if your pet has ringworm. So before you go and pay an expensive vet visit you can confirm at home for free if your pet has ringworm and proceed from there.

Pet Ringworm can be tricky to get rid of if you don’t take the proper measures. In many cases, pet ringworm will result in the whole family contracting the ringworm fungus

The most important measure, aside from restoring your pet to full health, is to make sure you sanitize and disinfect the pet and family’s environment. The ringworm fungal spores can live for short periods of time off of the host such as on pet bedding, pet housing, carpet, rugs, curtains, etc. If your family or another pet touches this surface they run a high risk of contracting ringworm themselves.

By disinfecting these areas with a fungicidal disinfectant spray you are taking a big step towards being ringworm free again. Learn more about getting rid of pet ringworm.

Flea Facts

February 8th, 2010

Did you know….

- Adult Fleas use heat to find warm-blooded hosts to develop and reproduce.

- Severe flea infestations can cause intense itching, skin lesions, anemia, weight loss and restlessness.

- Fleas transmit tapeworms and are known carriers of diseases like tularemia, murine, typhus and the plague.

- Eggs are laid on the host and fall off into pet bedding and other areas of your home.

- Eggs hatch within a few days, and larvae head towards dark places around your home and feed on “flea dirt” — secretions of partially digested pet blood.

- Larvae grow, molt twice, then spin cocoons where they pupate.

- Adult fleas emerge from the cocoons, hop onto a host, feed, mate and begin the life cycle all over again.
