Fleas and Ticks
​
We strongly recommend using flea and tick preventatives. Preventatives play a crucial role to reduce disease transmission to your pets. Fleas not only cause intense itching and irritation to your pets skin, but they can cause bacterial infections and are a common intermediate host for tapeworms. Some pets also have allergic reactions to flea bites causing them to develop flea bite dermatitis, inflammation of the skin which often includes hair loss and severe itching. Ticks can spread many diseases, the three most commonly seen in this area include Lyme, Anaplasmosis, and Ehrlichiosis.
​
There are many options, please inquire if you have questions about a flea and tick preventative and we will work with you to find the best option for you and your pet.
