Do we, the dogowners, get fleeced?
No dogowner really thinks about the legitimacy of the dog license fee. However, Germany is one of the few European countries where one has to afford this unjust fee.

Exceptions are very young and weak animals which can suffer from anemia when being infected by too much of these parasites... Unlike fleas, ticks, which belong to the spider animals, do have a season from the beginning of march to the end october. Because of the fact that these little nuisances can communicate different dangerous diseases, one has to be very serious about looking for the right protection.
