Paws up, pet parents! Keeping our furry friends healthy and parasite-free is a top priority. Don't wait until it's too late, start performing regular nose-to-tail inspections to keep your pet protected.
Whether it's once a week or after outdoor activity, take the time to check their tail base, ears, eyes, armpits, abdomen, and under the tail for any unwanted visitors.
Basic grooming, such as brushing and combing your pet's coat, can also help you catch any fleas or ticks and give you an opportunity to assess your pet's overall health. If you do find any, remove the tick with tweezers and dispose of it right away.
Make sure to keep up with your pet's preventive doses and contact a Veterinarian if you have any concerns. Let's keep our fur-buddies happy and healthy 🐾 #PetHealth #ParasitePrevention
Fleas and ticks are a year-round threat, and while completely eradicating them may not be possible, you can minimize their impact on your pet.
The key to success is a multi-pronged approach that includes veterinary-approved preventives, environmental management, and year-round pet health vigilance.
Keep your pet on year-round flea and tick prevention. These preventatives work by either repelling fleas and ticks or killing them when they bite your pet.
It's important to note that fleas and ticks don't have an off-season, so administering these preventatives year-round is crucial.
