The Importance of Flea and Tick Preventative all Year

While we’re having an unusually cold winter this year, the fact is that this area often doesn’t get enough sustained subfreezing temperatures to kill fleas, ticks, and their eggs. That means your pet needs year-round flea and tick prevention.

Don’t overlook the problems these pests can cause: Fleas can trigger dermatitis and hotspots, and infect your pet with tapeworm. One tick bite can transmit numerous dangerous diseases. Preventive medications are the best way to keep fleas and ticks away from your pets, and there are many to choose from depending on your pet’s needs and your budget.
