Don’t Let Parasites Ruin Your Pet’s Summer
When summer hits, so do the pests. Fleas and ticks thrive in warm, humid environments making Egypt’s hot months the perfect breeding ground. But what most pet parents don’t realize is how fast these tiny parasites can turn into a huge problem.
From skin irritation to dangerous diseases like ehrlichiosis, tick-borne fever, and tapeworm infections, the risks are real. The good news? Flea and tick problems are 100% preventable.
Let’s break down everything you need to know and what to get from Animals Republic to stay protected.
