Lice are flat, wingless insects that spend their entire life cycle of 14-21 days on the host. They spread through direct contact with contaminated animals, bedding, brushes, and combs and can cause serious diseases in pets. If you suspect that your pet is infested with lice, it is important to have them diagnosed by a veterinarian. They can conduct a simple test to confirm the presence of lice.
Once diagnosed, there are multiple treatment options available that your veterinarian may use to treat lice. If you need help with this type of infestation in your pet, please contact one of our friendly staff members.
