The AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association), recently released some FAQs on pets and bed bugs, due to the recent news coverage on bed bugs. Due to the increase in bed bug awareness, AVMA wanted to remind pet owners that often pets are helpless victims of bed bugs, and do not cause their appearance. And if treating your home for bed bugs, please be mindful of your pet's exposure. Similarly, do NOT try using flea and tick medicines on your pet in order to help your pet cope with bed bugs, as this can lead to overexposure to chemicals for your pet and may not be affective against the bed bugs at all.
