Dog Flea & Tick
Let’s talk! FLEA & TICK PREVENTION!
Ah, when spring has finally sprung, our thoughts turn to spring cleaning, digging in your garden and nightly walks after a long winter! Before you embark on outdoor activities, take inventory of your furry friends preventatives. Unfortunately for our pets, fleas, ticks, and the mosquitos that carry heartworm larvae also love springtime.
The Pets I Love has made tick-borne diseases for dogs an important part of our approach in preventive care to help reduce the number of cases seen in the U.S. annually.
In general, ticks need to be attached for 36 to 48 hours before they can transmit Lyme disease bacteria. Therefore, tick preventatives that kill ticks when they bite are very effective at preventing Lyme disease, as the tick dies before transmission occurs.
There are two main ways to provide parasite control – oral chews/pills or topical applications. We highly recommend Simaparica, it is a once-a-month chewable that protects your dog against ticks & fleas, roundworms & hookworms and Simparica Trio, it is a once-a-month chewable that protects your dog against heartworm disease, ticks & fleas, roundworms & hookworms. The best part, you can earn Zoetis Pet Care Rewards while protecting your pet!
