But there are certain facts that you need to\nknow about these pesky creatures, and what they can possibly do. Therefore,\nhere are 8 facts about ticks that you probably didn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ticks Aren\u2019t Insects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, the majority of people always consider ticks to be insects. But, the fact is that ticks are arachnids, which means they are more closely related to spiders than they are to mosquitoes or flies. They can be classified as relatives of scorpions, mites, and spiders. When you take a closer look, ticks resemble spiders as they have four pairs of legs with no antennae and they don\u2019t even jump or fly either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ticks are Dog Lovers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are not the only one who loves\ndogs. Ticks can be ranked on the hit list of being a dog lover as well. Certain\ntick species such as Brown dog tick and American dog tick prefer dogs as hosts.\nTicks feed on the blood of their hosts; therefore, they find dogs to be an easy\ntarget. Pet parents usually take their Fido for walks or to play in the nearby\npark or just to sniff and explore the world. This is the time when ticks can\nattack your Fido and make him their house for a few days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ticks Like To Stick Around<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ticks are like those temporary people who come into our lives, stick there for some time, and eventually, start being a pain that we have to remove them as soon as possible. Their first hunt for a good spot is in a dog\u2019s body, where they can set up their picnic spot. Next, they bury their teeth deeply into the skin of the host, which helps them to securely stay attached to the host\u2019s body to feed on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ticks Don\u2019t Immediately Transmit Diseases<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is imperative for pet parents to\nknow that ticks are not born with disease agents. They require more time during\nfeeding. That\u2019s the reason why many tick-borne diseases are only transmitted\nafter many hours of feeding. Ticks generally spread Lyme disease, but if you\nremove a tick within 24 hours, the chances of getting Lyme disease are very\nlow. The time-lapse can be an advantage for pet parents to provide tick\npreventive and eliminate ticks faster than they can transmit diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ticks Can Spread Multiple Diseases<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Humans aren\u2019t tick\u2019s primary choice as\ntheir host. Ticks generally feed on dogs, cats, mice, rabbits, deer, and birds.\nThey infect their hosts with certain pathogens and pick up bacteria that cause\ndiseases. Tick-borne diseases can be very serious, and if your dog carries\nticks in the house, it can bite you and also spread diseases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There Are Almost 900 Types of Ticks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are roughly 899 tick species in\nthe world. But only 90 of them are found in the United States, among which many\nof them are capable of transmitting diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted\nfever and Lyme disease. There are numerous types of ticks found across the\ncountry, and they fall into two categories: hard-shell and soft-shell ticks.\nAmong all, certain ticks are considered dangerous due to their ability to\ntransmit diseases to people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ticks Are Proactive in summers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no season of ubiquitous\ncreepy crawlies, but summer is an open season of ticks. Warm weather leads to\nan increase in the tick population because the temperature helps ticks\u2019 hosts\nto survive and also thrive year-around. In the summer season, non-adult ticks\nor nymphs are in full swing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ticks Can Be Prevented and Eliminated<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tick infestations are common in dogs\nand cats. However, the good news is that you can protect your pets from ticks\nby preventing and also eliminating them. There are various tick bite treatments\nthat effectively break the tick life cycle and eliminate them from your dog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So now when you\u2019re aware of the tick facts, all you need to do is prevent them from biting your dog by using tick<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadavetcare.com\/dog-flea-and-tick-treatment-1.aspx?utm_source=seo&amp;utm_medium=cvcblog&amp;utm_campaign=facts-about-ticks\"> preventives <\/a>before they take a serious turn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every pet parent knows what a nuisance ticks create in their pet\u2019s life.
