Health Concerns for Dogs in Bondi
- Ticks – especially paralysis ticks (Ixodes holocyclus) are prevalent along the eastern coastline, including Bondi. These tiny arachnids can inject a neurotoxin that causes weakness and even fatal paralysis if untreated. Daily checks after outdoor time and year-round tick preventatives are vital.
- Fleas – common in spring/summer and can cause intense itching, irritation, and skin infections.
- Heartworm – spread by mosquitoes; serious but preventable with heartworm prevention.
- Intestinal worms (roundworm, hookworm, tapeworm, whipworm) – these are spread through contaminated soil, faeces, or even other animals in Bondi
