rainy season ticks and fleas

It's raining every day in Bang Sue now and the ticks are back. My sister's dog got tick fever last year and it cost a lot at the animal hospital, so now I always remind her. What she does now: once a month spot on for the dog, even if he stays inside all day. Check behind the ears and between toes after walk in the soi. Wash bedding on hot water. Don't let the grass near the door grow too long, ticks love that. Fleas jump to cats too, so do the same for cats if you have. That's all, nothing special. Just be consistent, that's the hard part.
