00:16Mark Perosilio's family has three dogs.
00:20They noticed that the number of dogs and cats in their house is increasing every time it rains.
00:26We don't let them go out of the house anymore, but there are still some who go out.
00:31If we let them go out, they go out to the garage.
00:36When they come back, there are already some.
00:39According to Melody Felipe Tan,
00:41it's not fun to take care of dogs and cats, especially when it rains.
00:46They have indoor barracks.
00:49They can't be outside when it rains because the raindrops really stick to them.
00:56A veterinarian explains why dogs and cats stick to dogs and cats more every time it rains.
01:04Our environment is wet, the humidity is higher, and the temperature is warmer.
01:10So it's very conducive for our dogs and cats for their life cycle, for them to proliferate.

01:25To avoid them from proliferating, here are some tips from experts.
01:29Keep your house clean, especially in places where pets are always visiting.
01:34Regularly wash and bathe your pets using soap and hot water.

01:43it's also good to dry them if there's a scratch or scratch.
01:47Always check their food tags.
01:50If there's a scratch, remove it carefully so it won't leave a scratch on your pet's skin.
01:55There are also medicines that are rubbed and fed to avoid ticks and fleas.
02:00You can go to a veterinarian especially if your pet has symptoms of illness.
02:05It's also zoonotic. It can bring illness to us.
02:09They bring blood parasite, PSM, what we call Lyme disease,
