Ticks in dogs and cats – how to effectively protect your pet

Detect, prevent & treat tick infestation – take natural precautions with Zeckerli Drops

Ticks aren't just annoying, they can also transmit dangerous diseases like Lyme disease or TBE. Tick protection for dogs and cats is essential, especially during the warmer months. With Zeckerli Drops for dogs and cats, you have a gentle yet effective alternative to chemical treatments – simply administer them as tasty daily drops.


1. Why tick protection is so important

Ticks can transmit dangerous pathogens, such as:

  • Borrelia (Lyme disease)

  • Babesia (babesiosis, also known as canine malaria)

  • Anaplasma (anaplasmosis)

  • Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBE)

A single tick bite can be enough to infect your pet. Prevention is therefore crucial – especially during peak season from March to October.


2. Where do ticks lurk?

Ticks lurk mainly in:

  • tall grass

  • Bushes and bush edges

  • Parks, gardens and meadows

  • Forests or at the edge of the forest

Your pet can even become infected in your own garden – even indoor cats are not completely safe if they pick up ticks indirectly, for example, through contact with humans.


3. Recognizing a tick bite: Symptoms

A tick bite often goes unnoticed. Possible signs include:

  • small swelling at the bite site

  • Redness or skin reaction

  • Fatigue or fever (in case of infection)

  • Loss of appetite

  • Joint problems or lameness (late consequence of Lyme disease)

Important: Remove ticks as quickly as possible, ideally with tick tweezers – and keep an eye on the area.


4. Chemicals are a thing of the past – gentle tick protection with Zeckerli Drops

Many commercially available spot-on products or tablets contain pesticides that can be harmful to animals, humans, or the environment. Our Zeckerli Drops for Dogs & Cats take a different approach:
🌿 natural ingredients that influence body odor so that ticks avoid the animal.

If administered regularly, this can significantly reduce the risk of a tick bite – without side effects.


5. The advantages of Zeckerli Drops at a glance:

✅ Natural tick protection without chemicals
✅ Simply with a daily treat
✅ No stress, no pills
✅ Supports the body's defenses
✅ Suitable for dogs & cats of all ages


6. When should you start tick protection?

Ideally, before the start of tick season in spring, this gives your pet's body time to prepare for tick season. The drops should be given daily, especially during the warmer months.


7. Conclusion

Effective tick protection is essential for dogs and cats. With Zeckerli Drops, you can rely on a gentle yet effective alternative to chemical products – for daily support in the fight against ticks.
