Keeping Pets Healthy in Winter




Autumn and winter is the time for pulling on your wellies and heading out to the countryside but did you know that it is also the height of tick season? Ticks can be a danger to both you and your pet so it’s important to be vigilant in preventing and treating; ticks can carry Lyme disease which, if left untreated, can cause serious health issues. Recent research from Bristol University has shown that ticks are on the rise and, out of 15,000 dogs surveyed, 1 in 3 dogs were found to have a tick. Unfortunately, only one in ten people are aware that the best time to check for ticks is after a walk. 54.1% of dogs are brushed inside (with nearly a fifth – 18.5% - in the lounge, in front of the TV!), so any dirt and pests like ticks will drop off inside – putting the family at risk!

Bob Martin is giving one lucky reader the chance to win a walking bundle to help protect and treat their pets and families this autumn. The pack includes a selection of Bob Martin tick products, a pair of wellies, a walking kit and a Fluff & Spruce Slicka Brush for those important tick checks.


Top tips for protecting your pet from ticks

  • Use Bob Martin spot on regularly to repel ticks, particularly in tick season (throughout summer and autumn). Follow reapplication guidance.
  • When going out for a walk, keep Bob Martin Flea and Tick spray in the car and give your dog a quick spray before walking.
  • When walking, stick to footpaths as much as possible, avoid long grass and be aware in wooded areas.
  • After the walk, give your dog a good brush before getting into the car so any loose ticks are knocked off. Focus on the underbelly, around ears and jaw.
  • If you do spot a tick on your dog, use Bob Martin’s tick remover as quickly as possible to remove it safely.

Top tips for protecting your family

  • · Long trousers and sleeves will deter ticks from attaching and try light coloured clothing on walks so you can easily see any ticks you may have picked up.
  • · Beware - ticks can get picked up on picnic blankets, so give them a good shake.
  • · After the walk, give yourself and your family a quick check – particularly around the armpits, groin andbelly button.
  • · If you do discover an attached tick that has been feeding and has swollen in size, remove it quickly and safely with a tick remover and go to your GP for a test.

  34. We are a family which loves to have pets, so much fun and part of the family. Border Collies which are active and curious, full of energy a neighbour helps to exercise the adult dog. The other is still a pup, so we are gradually increasing exercise according to his age.

    My Mum has a Budgie which is good company. She had dogs years ago and misses them. Her advanced age and health means Budgie enough for her to deal with, with assistance from family members. We do like to have pet / s and try to support each other with their needs etc.

Theo comes next and he's a jet black cat, he loves to play around and can be a bit wild at times, although he knows his boundaries. Shadow is still a fairly new member to the family and he's the youngest, he's becoming friendly with both George and Theo, although he does tend to get a bit wild every now and again. It usually takes a telling off from George to make him stop.

  53. I have 3 cats, 2 girls and 1 boy, all siblings that we adopted from a rescue charity back in 2005. The boy and one of the girls are black & white, and when they were kittens they were hard to tell apart, but now the boy is twice the size of his sister so there's no mistaking which is which. The other girl is a long haired tortoiseshell. She's from the same litter but doesn't look anything like her siblings. My husband is her slave - every night she jumps on his lap and paws at him until he gets her comb and grooms her.

    The cat, G (a Birman) rules the roost - apparently, everyone else in the house is merely there to serve his every whim, which includes being escorted/carried to his food bowls even though he is free fed and has access to them 24/7. While he even bosses the dog (a Labrador called Houli) he also snuggles up to him and even washes him, including Houli's back teeth on one occasion! Houli got his name as he spins round and round, zigging and zagging at the earliest opportunity (especially when we go to his most favourite of places, the river). When my father first saw him do this he commented "He's creating a right hooley" - a slight tweaking of the word and my new puppy had his name!

  155. I have two cats who are 16 called Tigger and Harvey and two dogs Shortie is coming up to 14 and I adopted him 4 years ago, he is a yorkshire terrier x poodle and pretty laid back and Jack is a 2 year old Jack Russell x chihuahua. We took Jack on from a friend who had 7 dogs and he didn't get enough attention so he is a bit scared of other dogs as he wasn't socialised enough but he is a real sweetie.

He will be missed but we will hopefully welcome a new puppy sometime next year into the family...
