WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR IN MELISSIA AND PENTELI
The mountain, ravines and pine trees make for some of the loveliest walks in Attica, but a little extra care is needed.
⛰️
Mountain walks
After a walk on the trails of Mount Penteli, check your dog for ticks around the ears, neck and between the toes. They transmit diseases such as ehrlichiosis, so parasite prevention needs to be consistent all year round.
🐍
Snakes
From spring to autumn, you may encounter vipers in areas near the mountain. If your pet is bitten, keep it calm and still, do not tie off or cut the bite area, and go to a veterinary clinic immediately.
🦟
Leishmaniasis
It is endemic in Attica and is transmitted by sand flies, which are common near ravines and gardens, especially on summer evenings and at night. Repellent collars or spot-on treatments, vaccination where appropriate, and an annual test are recommended.
🎒
Be prepared for summer
If you live near the forest, keep a go-bag ready for your pet: a carrier or leash, water, two days’ worth of food, its medication and health record. With an up-to-date microchip, it will be easier to find its way home if it gets lost.
Pine processionary caterpillars (late winter to spring): in the pine trees of Penteli and in gardens, caterpillars that move in a “procession” can cause a severe allergic reaction and tongue necrosis. If your dog comes into contact with them, gently rinse its mouth with plenty of water without rubbing, and go immediately to the nearest veterinary clinic.
