“Many people tend to believe that if they don’t go on hikes or spend time in wooded areas, they aren’t at risk for Lyme. Ticks are everywhere – including suburban and gated communities where deer, raccoons, opossum, birds and other hosts frequent back yards. That’s why CAPC recommends year-round tick prevention for dogs – and cats – and regular screening to protect dogs from this debilitating disease that can be extremely hard to treat. By protecting your pet, you protect your family.”
"Like with humans, a 4-6 week course of doxycycline has the highest potential to knock the infection out and keep it from going into the chronic phase if caught within the first 60 days of infection onset.
However, if you don’t catch it in time or if you are not interested in giving antibiotics to your pet, there are three natural treatments with high levels of effectiveness."
"Cistus Incanus Dosage: Just use 1/2 tsp per 10 lbs of body weight. You don’t have to put the kettle on for your pet, you can just put the herb directly into their food. Pets LOVE the taste!"(same article as above)
"Cistus Tea has been in use to help prevent ticks from attaching to dogs and humans since Roman times. I drink about 12 oz, once per week and it really seems to work."
