Protect your pet from these common parasites with year-round prevention and proper treatment.
Fleas and ticks are more than just annoying—they can transmit serious diseases to your pets and family.
Year-Round Prevention
Even in winter, fleas can survive indoors. Year-round prevention is recommended in most climates.
Types of Prevention
Options include topical treatments, oral medications, collars, and sprays. Your vet can recommend the best option for your pet.
Checking for Parasites
Regularly check your pet's fur, especially after outdoor activities. Look for small dark specks (flea dirt) and embedded ticks.
Treating Your Home
If you find fleas, you'll need to treat your home too. Wash bedding in hot water and vacuum frequently.
Removing Ticks
Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick close to the skin. Pull upward with steady, even pressure.
