Dogs these days have lived much longer than they used to.
Do you know why?
It is said that there are two reasons.
One is that dog food has improved. “Improved” means “better nutrition” and “better taste”.

The second is the advancement of medicine. In the past, dogs often died from a disease called heartworm, but after the drug "ivermectin" was invented, no dogs died from heartworm. That's a name you've heard somewhere. Yes, the drug "ivermectin" was developed by Nobel laureate Dr. Omura in collaboration with the US pharmaceutical company Merck. Therefore, I guess many of you may know it.

Oh yes, ticks are also involved in this topic.
Do you know ticks?
They are bad insects that stick to humans, and although they are generally small, they stick to animals and suck blood to grow larger. In addition to sucking blood, they can also cause illness.

When you go camping or are in the woods, please wear long sleeves even in the summer because ticks can sometimes stick to you. I wear long sleeves all year round, no, I wear fur all year round, so it's usually okay. But I have a weakness. It's my face. The fur on my face is thin.

One day, when Dad was looking at my face, he noticed, "Oh, there's a wart on your chin."

When I went to see my vet, he said that this was a tick, and he removed it and examined my blood. Then, we realized that there are ticks where we take our walks.


The second time was when I was in the bathtub at night. Dad found a tick near my eye and removed it with tweezers. The next day, I had my vet look at me just in case there was something left behind.

I had ticks twice, so after consulting with my vet, we decided to take medicine for preventing ticks along with heartworm medicine. Thanks to Dad, I haven't had ticks since.
I take this medicine once a month from spring to autumn. Fortunately, it is very tasty (#^.^#).


This medicine is an excellent medicine that can prevent heartworm and ticks with one tablet.


It was so delicious that I was picking up the medicine that I had dropped on the mat.



I finished eating the medicine. It was tasty.
