Fleas and Ticks

Fleas and ticks may be a problem at any time of the year, so remember to watch for excessive scratching, especially around the tail and ears. We carry a variety of safe, proven, and guaranteed preventatives to help you control flea problems.

Even though there are many over-the-counter flea products, their toxicity prevents us from recommending them. Since retail stores cannot obtain vet-only label products directly and legally from the manufacturer, the authenticity of these products is questionable. Our staff is knowledgeable in flea control products and would be very happy to help you choose an effective program that will best meet the needs of you and your pet.

Evidence of fleas, ticks, or internal parasites may sometimes be observable, but sometimes they are not. For this reason, veterinary examinations and parasite testing are important methods used to detect parasites and improve your pet’s health. Monthly parasite preventive medications can protect pets from fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites like roundworms and hookworms. Don’t leave your pet unprotected from these predators.
