Warm weather is here and so are fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes. These pests are more than an annoying nuisance; they each carry diseases that can be potentially life-threatening to your pets. Heartworms affect both dogs and cats and are spread by mosquitoes. The disease is easily preventable. Have your pets tested annually and keep them on a monthly prevention year-round, such as Iverhart, Heartgard, Interceptor, Sentinel, or Revolution.

Ticks can carry several diseases that affect pets, such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Lyme Disease, and a blood pathogen called Ehlichia. Fleas cause many skin problems and may carry Hemobartonella that causes anemia in cats. Frontline Plus and Vectra are monthly topical treatment that can keep your pet free from fleas and ticks year-round.  We also carry Comfortis the monthly oral flea treatment.

Please ask our knowledgeable staff to help you determine which preventatives are right for your pets.
