Warmer temperatures mean an increased chance of encountering fleas and ticks. Prevention against these pests is a critical part of keeping your furry friend healthy and happy. Our clinic is partnered with the online pharmacy Vetsource to make it easy for our clients to keep up with preventative care.
Flea and tick bites can directly affect your pet’s health, from mild allergic reactions and itching to serious disease and infections. While use of a year-round preventative is often recommended, prevention during the spring and summer months is especially crucial since these parasites thrive in warmer weather. There are various types of treatments, including:
- Topical – liquid that is applied directly to your pet’s skin on a monthly basis
- Oral – tablets that are given monthly
- Collars – a wearable option that protects against adult parasites
Pay close attention to dosage instructions on all preventative medicine, especially weight recommendations and species limitations. Visit our online Vetsource page HERE to view a list of trusted products and get them delivered conveniently to your door today!
