One flea can become a full-blown infestation within a month, and a single paralysis tick can kill a dog or cat. Clients ask about these parasites almost every day, and this webinar helps you give them clear, confident answers.
You’ll learn how fleas feed and reproduce, the diseases they cause and carry, including flea allergy dermatitis and zoonoses such as cat scratch disease, and why the flea life cycle means most of the problem lives in the pet’s environment rather than on the pet.
The webinar then covers the ticks that matter in Australia, including the paralysis tick, brown dog tick and bush tick, where they are found, how they feed and the diseases they spread. You’ll understand the difference between products that kill or repel on contact and products that need the tick to bite, and why regular tick searches are still needed. Ear mites, Demodex and sarcoptic mites, lice and biting flies round out the session, along with tips for product conversations with clients.
