Dog Flea & Tick

Preventing Fleas and Ticks

Fleas are a prevalent concern for dogs, posing health risks and potential infestations in your home. It’s far more convenient and cost-effective to prevent fleas on your pets than to tackle a significant infestation later. Regular use of flea products helps to safeguard your pets and home from these pests, saving you from costly treatments.

Fleas not only cause itching and allergic reactions in pets but also carry viral and bacterial diseases, posing a threat to their health. They can lead to anemia, especially in small animals like kittens, and transmit tapeworms. Wildlife, other pets, and even birds or rodents can introduce fleas into your yard and home, emphasizing the importance of preventive measures.

Ticks are also increasingly common, especially in spring and fall. These parasites transmit various diseases, including Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis. Prevention is crucial, given the potential severity of these illnesses.

Flea and Tick Products: Products like Vectra 3D, Revolution, Bravecto and Preventic Collars offer comprehensive protection against fleas and ticks, tailored to your pet’s needs and lifestyle.

Consultation: With numerous products available, seeking guidance from your veterinarian ensures you choose the most effective and safe flea and tick control measures for your pets.

By prioritizing flea and tick prevention, you safeguard your pets’ health and well-being, as well as your home environment. Reach out to our knowledgeable veterinarians and team for expert advice on protecting your beloved pets from these parasites.
