Keeping your pet on flea and tick medication year-round is important because fleas and ticks can be active even during colder months. We have patients come in with ticks & fleas all year long despite it being wintertime.
Fleas are resilient pests, capable of enduring temperatures as low as 46 degrees
Ticks can transmit a variety of diseases to pets, including Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and ehrlichiosis, which can be serious.
Even indoor only pets can be exposed to fleas/ticks through various means like clothing & visitors.
Keeping your pet on consistent protection prevents pests from spreading serious diseases like Lyme disease, while also minimizing the chance of a sudden infestation by interrupting their life cycle, making it much easier to manage parasite control.
We have a variety of prevention in the office including Simparica Trio, Bravecto, Frontline, Nexgard and Provecta!
Even if you don’t buy it from us, you should buy all prevention from a licensed veterinarian to ensure the best quality.
