In Southeast Louisiana, It's Always Flea Season! ๐พ
These live fleas and "flea dirt" (flea p**p!) were found on a patient recently. Flea dirt is often one of the first signs of a flea infestation, even when you don't see many live fleas. And for some pets, it only takes one flea bite to trigger significant itching and skin irritation.
Pets with flea allergies may experience:
โข Intense itching
โข Red, irritated skin
โข Hair loss
โข Secondary skin infections
Because our warm, humid climate allows fleas to thrive year-round, consistent flea prevention is one of the best ways to keep your pet comfortable and healthy.
We offer:
โ Flea prevention products in the clinic
โ Bravecto Quantumโข, a long-acting flea and tick injection for dogs
โ Convenient online pharmacy ordering
If your pet is scratching more than usual, or if you've spotted fleas, give us a call or book online to discuss the best flea prevention plan for your pet!
