Fleas and ticks are not only gross, they can pose significant health risks. Tapeworm infections and bartonellosis (cat scratch disease) are caused by fleas, while ticks transmit Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, cytauxzoonosis and other infections.

The best defense is year-round protection you can trust. Talk to your veterinarian today about flea and tick prevention for your pet and consider the Never-Forget delivery program so you will always stay on top of your pets protection!
