Our pets are part of our family. That is why we take care of your diet, your hygiene and your health, looking for quality, safe and effective products. Dewormers are an important part of caring for our pets. We explain the differences between chemical and natural antiparasitics. Main Difference The main difference is that chemical or conventional antiparasitics act by poisoning the parasites once they have already bitten or stung the animal, while natural antiparasitics are used as repellents to prevent the bite of fleas, ticks, etc. The latter are not insecticides but rather exert a preventive action to avoid the risk of transmitting diseases due to the bite of parasites. Chemical Antiparasitics Antiparasitics must be applied continuously throughout the animal's life to keep it protected. It must be taken into account that chemical antiparasitics , once they are in contact with the animal, are distributed throughout its body, making it poisonous to parasites and providing toxicity to our pet , in small doses each time maintained over time. Natural Antiparasitics Natural antiparasitics , on the other hand, do not have that toxicity, respecting the health of our pets and can be used even if there are babies in the home since they are safe for all members of the family and do not have adverse effects on the animal's health. . Of course, you have to know how to apply them appropriately, combining them to achieve greater effectiveness. The best option will always be to combine an anti-parasitic collar with anti-parasitic pipettes as a permanent protection system, and add an extra with an anti-flea spray every time we take it out of the house. This ensures that our pet is always protected . Additionally, if our dogs and cats live in high-risk areas, we can apply antiparasitic powder once a week on their body and the areas they pass through, such as their bed or their favorite place to rest.
How to Combine Them To enjoy greater effectiveness while maintaining its benefits, it is recommended to combine several solutions as follows: Antiparasitic collars for dogs or cats , to keep the front part of our pet's body and its head and neck protected. Antiparasitic pipettes for dogs or cats , in small dogs applying them in front of the tail to protect the rear area. In medium and large dogs, apply in front of the CZ Leads tail and in the middle of the back. Spray repellents , spray the product on the legs, belly and fold areas (behind the ears, armpits, etc.) before going for a walk with our dog, to prevent ticks from adhering to our pet's body. Powder repellents , perfect for protecting both our pet if it lives outside, and the area where our pet rests in the home (kennel, bed, blanket...).

The best form of prevention is the use of repellents that prevent the bite of the sand fly, especially active at high temperatures (spring-summer). It is estimated that leishmaniasis affects around 15% of dogs in Spain. It is an endemic disease in our country, especially in the warmer areas (Andalusia, Valencian Community...), while in other colder and more humid regions leishmania manifests itself only in the months in which temperatures rise.
These are some of the symptoms of leishmaniasis: changes in the coat (loss of hair around the eyes, ears and nose), skin and eye lesions, kidney problems, decay, joint injuries, digestive problems, nosebleeds, and exaggerated nail growth… If you see any of these symptoms in your dog or cat, go to your veterinarian. Leishmaniasis has no cure. Its treatment is aimed at controlling the damage caused by the parasite in our pet, so prevention takes on – if possible even more so – an essential role. We give you some recommendations to prevent leishmania: Avoid walks at night and at dawn with your pet; These are the periods of the day in which the sand fly is most active. Use mosquito nets whenever possible. Prevent your dog or cat from sleeping outdoors. Use specific repellent products to avoid sandfly bites in dogs and cats, both on the animal itself and on its environment (bed, area where it rests, etc.). Follow the veterinary check-ups and vaccination schedule. Contagion and prevention of leishmaniasis Leishmaniasis is transmitted through the bite of a sand fly , which has previously bitten an infected animal. Contrary to popular belief, living with an infected cat or dog cannot cause infection if there is no bite. It is also estimated that only 1 in 50 infected people develop the disease. Even though our cat or our cat is infected by leishmania, they may not develop it but may be susceptible to transmitting it (as long as they are bitten by the insect). There is a wide range of repellent solutions on the market to prevent the sandfly bite and with it leishmaniasis. Antiparasitic collars and pipettes , spray and powder to protect our pet's kennel, blanket or bed and the environment in which it lives. In this sense, it is important to use natural products , without chemical agents and respectful of the health of the entire family. Essential if we have children at home.
